It had a total of 63.3 million downloads during August and most of the installs came from Indonesia and Brazil. This was an increase of 1.6% compared to last year.
Zoom took the second spot on the list with a total of 52.2 million downloads, which was 22.2 times more compared to last year. Most of its downloads came from the iOS App Store while it was on the 5th spot on Google Play Store.
Region-wise, the largest number of installs came from India at 25% and the USA was close behind with 19.5%. Other non-gaming apps in the top 5 list included Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
These figures were collected by Sensor Tower between August 1, 2019, to August 31, 2020, and only included unique downloads rather than pre-installed ones. Third-party app stores were not included in Android’s case and the numbers included aggregate figures for all app versions, for instance, Facebook and Facebook Lite, etc.
