Yes, in most cases. Years ago the airlines and regulators determined that electronic devices are safe to use in all phases of flight.
There are 1000's of videos of takeoff and landing on Rumble, Odysee, YouTube, etc.
The Cabin Crew will announce the specific rules so listen carefully.
Large electronic devices must be stowed because they become a significant projectile risk in an emergency situation.

Listen to the safety briefing and other announcements. The airline will tell you what you shouldn't do.
My experience: They used to tell passengers to switch off all electronic devices, but starting from a few years ago, they started telling passengers to switch off large electronic devices, and small devices may be used if they are securely held in your hand.
And in all cases, devices that have a flight mode should be switched to flight mode, even if turned off (so that they'll be in flight mode when you turn them back on during the flight).
