🔎 Historically

In very old English (hundreds of years ago), forms like “now days” or similar separated structures existed.

But in modern English, the correct and only standard form is:

✅ nowadays (one word)

So today:

• ❌ Now days, people use smartphones.
• ✅ Nowadays, people use smartphones.

Important detail

It’s not that “now days” was common and then disappeared recently.
It’s more accurate to say:

The language evolved, and “nowadays” became the fixed standard spelling.

English often merges words over time:

• to day → today
• to morrow → tomorrow
• now a days → nowadays

Language simplifies and standardizes.

Small tip

You can place it:

• At the beginning:
  Nowadays, people work remotely.
• At the end:
  People work remotely nowadays.

Both are correct.
