Since the advent of smartphones, users have been spending more and more time in front of screens without being able to get enough of digital content. Consulting company Apptopia published the annual rating, which names the most popular programs of the past year.
Here are the most popular apps in the world in 2021
As the statistics predictably showed, the programs that were regularly mentioned in the Internet media were the most popular. However, there are slight differences in the rankings compiled for the entire planet and the US separately. The company compiled a single list of the most downloaded applications for Android and iOS. The most popular mobile applications in the world:
As expected, the first place is occupied by TikTok, and the top ten includes applications such as Facebook, Snapchat and Spotify, which have already become traditional leaders. It is noteworthy that four lines of the rating out of ten are occupied by programs belonging to the company Meta. The video editing program CapCut was a beginner in this company. This software is owned by ByteDance, which also owns TikTok - the tool is optimized specifically for this program.
In the USA, the rating is different:
Apps like Spotify and Telegram did not make the US list, unlike YouTube, HBO Max and Cash App. Despite all that, the TikTok service has retained a leading role here.
TikTok took first place in the ranking of the most popular sites on the Internet by Google
Cloudflare has published a ranking of the popularity of Internet resources in 2021. It shows that the passing year was marked by the shift of the constant ranking leader in the person of the Google.com domain, which includes many services of the search giant. The new leader is TikTok.com, which took only seventh place last year.
The top ten most popular domains in 2021 include:
- TikTok.com
- Google.com
- Facebook.com
- Microsoft.com
- Apple.com
- Amazon.com
- Netflix.com
- Youtube.com
- Twitter.com
- whatsapp.com
Last year, the schedule of forces was as follows:
- Google.com
- Facebook.com
- Microsoft.com
- Apple.com
- Netflix.com
- Amazon.com
- TikTok.com
- Youtube.com
- Instagram.com
- Twitter.com
For the first time this year, TikTok came out on top on February 17. There were also several days in March and May when this domain was at the top of the ranking. But only after August 10, TikTok became the undisputed leader. There were times when Google's position was stronger, but there were very few such days in the second half of the year. In general, except for the growing popularity of TikTok, the balance of power has not changed much.
