Most Downloaded Ios App Was Tiktok For The 5Th Quarter

Short video sharing app TikTok was the most downloaded iOS app for the fifth consecutive quarter, according to analytics company Sensor Tower. Video and messaging apps dominated the top 5 …

TechCrunch reports.

Across both iOS and Google apps, however, TikTok was relegated to third place, behind WhatsApp and Facebook’s Messenger.

The report also shows that video is the one area where iPad installations account for a significant percentage of downloads.

TikTok, YouTube, and Netflix are the three top-ranking apps that stand out here.

TikTok may not maintain its most downloaded iOS app status in Q2, however. In India, Apple pulled the app in April under pressure from the government.

Developer ByteDance said in May, when the app was restored, that it was committed to fighting against misuse of the app.

TechCrunch notes that Twitter also did well, despite its #16 ranking.

The top 5 Android apps were WhatsApp, Messenger, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.
