TikTok is the Most Downloaded App on the Apple App Store Despite its relatively recent launch in late 2016, TikTok has made its way into the list of the ten most-downloaded apps of the past decade, ranking in seventh place ahead of even YouTube and Twitter, which have been around for much, much longer.ģ. Interestingly, of the five above-mentioned apps, TikTok is the only one that isn’t owned by the Facebook group.And if you need further proof of TikTok’s popularity, here’s another. It will also rank ahead of social media giant Facebook itself and Instagram. If growth figures hold, this means the app is likely to be the third most popular non-gaming app of 2019, just behind WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger with 707.4 million and 636.2 million installs respectively.
This marks a six percent year-over-year increase from the previous year and clearly on track to exceed 2018’s total number of downloads. The latest TikTok statistics show that the app was downloaded 614 million times from January to November in 2019 (Sensor Tower, 2019). The app reached its first billion only as recently as February 2019 and took just under eight months to gain half a billion more – figures that are nothing short of impressive. TikTok is by far one of the world’s most downloaded apps in recent years, having surpassed both the one billion and 1.5 billion downloads mark on the App Store and Google Play in a single year in 2019. And for Facebook to hit the same monthly active users mark, it took nearly over four years. Just to give you an idea of how other apps perform in comparison, it took Instagram six years from its launch to gain the same amount of monthly active users that TikTok managed to achieve in under three years. TikTok has especially been enthusiastically welcomed by many Asian countries such as Cambodia, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. It’s interesting to point out that 150 million active daily users are in China, which mostly use the Chinese version of the app, called Douyin. That makes TikTok 9th in terms of social network sites, ahead of better known sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, and Snapchat. TikTok has 800 million active users worldwide (Datareportal, 2020). TikTok was launched in September 2016, and in the three years since its launch, it’s safe to say that it has exploded in popularity.
