<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">App Annie, a well-known Mobile app analytics firm, has released its annual report on the mobile app trends of 2020. The report revealed the list of top 10 most downloaded apps globally in 2020 (from January to November), in which TikTok, Facebook, and WhatsApp Messenger was No.1, No.2, and No.3 most downloaded apps, respectively. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>App Annie’s Top App Worldwide reports for 2020</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">According to App Annie’s report, TikTok has jumped the list by three, overtaking Facebook to officially become the No.1 most-downloaded app of 2020 when factoring both Android and iOS downloads. TikTok is also expected to reach 1 billion monthly active users in 2021.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">While TikTok surpassed Facebook for downloads, apps owned by Facebook have still dominated the top 5 ranks in this list. Facebook itself had the second spot followed by WhatsApp in the third, while Instagram in the fifth position. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The fourth position in this list belongs to the video conferencing app Zoom Cloud Meetings. It jumped up to 219 spots to become 2020’s No.4 most-downloaded app. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Along with the download charts, App Annie’s annual report for 2020 also included the list of top 10 apps of the year in terms of “Consumer Spend” and “Monthly Active User.” Accordingly, though Facebook was not 2020’s most-downloaded app, it had the highest monthly active users globally. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Besides, streaming video services also saw an unsurprising big jump in consumer spend last year as people looked for various entertainment options while staying home. Youtube and especially Disney+ all jumped on this list, while Netflix downed 4 spots. Generally speaking, streaming services dominated the list of App Annie’s Consumer Spend chart for 2020.

As people spent a lot of time on mobile devices in 2020, mobile usage was one of the biggest areas of growth last year. </p>
