August 11, 2021TikTok was the most downloaded application of 2020, surpassing all the apps of the battleship Facebook.
The trend, which has been going on for some time towards Mark Zuckerberg's galaxy, is confirmed by the numbers of the analysis company App Annie, reported by Nikkei Asia.
As early as May - according to monthly data from another analytics firm, Sensor Tower - TikTok had beaten Facebook. And in January, also Sensor Tower, had declared it the most profitable (non-gaming) app globally with nearly $ 128 million from paying users.
The numbers reported by Nikkei Asia are significant in light of the pandemic and also taking into account that for a good part of 2020 the chat owned by the Chinese company Bytedance was under the threat of the US ban. Ban lifted by the new American president Joe Biden on June 9th.
According to App Annie's analysis, TikTok was fourth in 2019 (now it's first). Facebook-owned apps have occupied the top positions since 2018 (start of surveys) and continue to dominate the top of the rankings. The social media giant remains firmly in the top 5 with Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. In sixth and seventh place are SnapChat and Telegram.
Even in Italy TikTok had a leap with the pandemic but the platform also ended up under the lens of the privacy guarantor, after some news stories, who asked for a close to the profiles of "under 13" users.
