Last month, TikTok became the first app not owned by Facebook to cross the 3bn download mark. TikTok was the world’s most downloaded app last year, and according to App Annie, a mobile analytics company, in March 2020 alone, users spent as much time on it as there has been since the stone age: 2.8bn hours, or nearly 320,000 years. Unless specified otherwise, estimated revenue is always net, meaning it's the amount the developer earned after Apple and Google took their fee.Against the backdrop of a global pandemic that has kept millions of people inside with nothing but their phones for company, the short-form video-sharing app TikTok has quietly ascended to the top ranks of tech.

Telegram was growing rapidly in 2019 too, but those 118 million estimated downloads pale in comparison to this new haul. A raging pandemic didn't stop millions from taking to the streets to protest, and this year saw a variety of reasons to do that all around the world.Īccording to our estimates, Telegram added more than 353 million downloads so far this year across the App Store and Google Play, though most, 85%, were from Google Play. Telegram, the encrypted chat service many flocked to all around the world during protests, has seen a lot of action in 2020. Can't compare that to the 20 million downloads both Meet and Hangouts got in 2019. Google noticed this trend early on, and rebranded Google Hangouts into Google Meet, borrowing popular features from all other solutions, which earned it more than 272 million downloads so far in 2020, according to our intelligence. Comparing its 2020 performance to the 16 million downloads it got in 2019 feels irresponsible.īut Zoom wasn't the only one. The app is rounding 2020 with more than 485 million downloads according to our estimates, and we're probably undercounting a few because it grew so rapidly. Business meetings, family gatherings, birthdays, school, government sessions, and pretty much any other social interaction you can think of has moved to Zoom.
