This is the most downloaded app (to date) in 2022.

It is very important that our electronic devices such as mobile phones have a wide library of applications that can satisfy all our needs not only for productivity but also for relaxation, and many of these applications are common to most users because they are extremely popular. such as Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp, among many others.

Now, analytics firm Sensor Tower has published its report for the first quarter of 2022, which includes the most downloaded apps for iOS and Android devices in the global market, as well as in more specific markets such as Europe or the US.

And forget about apps like WhatsApp or Facebook, because the most downloaded app in the first quarter of 2022 was TikTok, with a total of over 3.5 billion downloads as well, becoming the fifth and only non-Meta app to reach this milestone. .

This year TikTok downloaded over 175 million times and it is the most downloaded app in both the App Store and the Google Play Store in the first quarter of the year, well ahead of other well-known apps such as Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp.

If we focus a bit on the European market, we can see that TikTok was also the most downloaded app in this first quarter, but curiously, WhatsApp was the most downloaded app in the same time period for iOS devices.

It also has a large presence in Europe on Telegram and Instagram, with some declines on Facebook and Twitter reviews, despite being recently acquired by Elon Musk.

In this way, TikTok is opposing the hegemony that Meta has had so far with apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook or Messenger and is becoming a real phenomenon with its direct offering, current trends and a large diverse set of communities. many niches.
