World ranking: the top of the most popular apps!
From 1er last January, we love discovering the rankings of the past year. Rankings of what? Everything and anything, but some are more interesting than others, like the one that reveals the operator with the worst 5G on the market, for example. Lovers of your smartphones, here is for you the list of the hottest apps in 2022.
How is this classification made?
It’s tradition and the Apptopia site has indeed unveiled the long-awaited list of the most downloaded applications between 1er January and December 20, 2022. It only counts new downloads and, if you have re-downloaded an app that you already own, it does not appear in the count. Finally, it combines global figures from iOS and the Google Play Store. Only Play Store downloads registered in China are not counted. It must be said that the Chinese have a “separate” market when it comes to apps: some Western apps are not available while local productions are popular. With more than a billion souls, the ranking would have been a bit skewed.
For the 3rd year in a row, @TikTok was the most downloaded app across the globe. Welcome in to our 6th annual worldwide and US download leader charts, the full year scoreboard of the most in-demand apps on the planet: https://t.co/u2m5R2uezE pic.twitter.com/YwJiFPgKdY

Change in the Top 10
Like last year, it’s good TikTok which finds itself at the top with more than 628 million new installations. And like last year, his dolphin is none other thaninstagram with 548 million downloads. In third place, it’s a surprise with the arrival of WhatsApp (424 million) which steals the last step of the podium from Facebook (298 million) which monopolized it last year and which ends 2022 in eighth place. Cap Cut, the video editing software, gains 5 places and finds itself in 2022 at the fourth. Snapchat and Telegram are resisting with respectively 330 and 310 million installs. While no game was in the Top 10 last year, we discover two for 2022: Subway Surfers (7th with 304 million) and Stumble Guy (9th with 254 million). Confirming its tenth place of 2021, Spotify can boast of having conquered 238 million more smartphones in one calendar turn.
