The most downloaded Google applications. Which do you use?

As you may have noticed several times, from time to time we have a message in the World of Android that an Android application has reached a significant milestone in the number of downloads in the Play Store. In recent weeks and months, we have witnessed several great successes in this regard. They also played a significant role in this applications developed directly by Google. Have you ever wondered which of his mobile tools are the absolute most downloaded?

Before we get down the ladder, we need to clarify a few things. First of all Play Store does not offer accurate statistics with the number of downloads and works with milestones of the type “more than…”, which reach the value on the top floors five or even ten billion downloads. It is in these two layers that there are ten Google applications that you will find in the list. With the exception of the clearly first YouTube, which recently surpassed the gigantic limit of 10 billion installations, we are talking about more than five billion downloads.

It is also necessary to take into account that all the following applications are advantageous in that they are in mobile phones in the vast majority of cases pre-installed. Thus, their statistics are certainly related to the number of phones produced rather than the popularity of users. For the sake of order, it should also be noted that at the level of +5 billion, in addition to the three Facebook applications (Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger) there are two other Google works – Google Play Services and Android Accessibility Suite (accessibility services), which in this case we do not consider classic applications.

1) YouTube (+10 billion since July 2021)

2) Google Maps (+5 billion since March 2019)

Some of you might fit them in the first place, and we wouldn’t be surprised either. However, this is not the case. At least a jump into the double category can be expected soon.

3) Google search (+5 billion since March 2019)

A basic application with a traditional desktop widget and other features that you may not yet know it has or controls. Also a hot favorite to advance to the next level.

4) Google Text-to-Speech (+5 billion since June 2019)

Recently renamed and completely redesigned service providing access to movies and series. Honestly byste would you expect her on this list?

9) Google Photos (+5 billion since December 2020)

You may be surprised that this is the very youngest (2015) Google mobile app on this list. The service has a lot of fans and users, although it was recently busy due to a change in storage rules.

10) Google Hangouts (+5 billion since June 2021)

The list is symbolically closed by the mobile application of the service, which officially falls into the abyss of history, which is quite typical for Google. Its functions are gradually taken over by Chat and Meet.
