1.TikTok

Number of downloads: 672 million


Developer: Byte Dance

But, the award for most consistently high-performing app goes to TikTok.
After securing the top downloads spot in 2021, TikTok achieved the
same phenomenal success in 2022, too.
The immensely popular platform even managed to increase its download
count from the previous year, building on the 656 mn downloads it
achieved in 2021

2.Instagram

Number of downloads: 548 million


Original author : Kevin Systrom Mike Krieger
Developer : Meta Platforms

Instagram has successfully managed to retain its position in this
competitive market.

growth in 2022.
3.Whatsapp

Number of downloads: 424 million


Original author : Brian Acton, Jan Koum
Developer : Meta Platforms, Will Cathcart
Initial release : January 2009
In 2022, Whatsapp further cemented itself as one of the world’s most
popular messaging platforms.
Despite Facebook’s drop in popularity, Whatsapp’s 2022 success will
certainly soften the blow. In April 2022, Whatsapp’s global monthly
active users exceeded the 2 bn mark.
Considering that, when Facebook (now Meta) purchased Whatsapp for
$19 bn in 2014 this number was at 450 mn, the pace of growth is pretty
extraordinary.

Developer: Byte Dance
Initial release : 10 April 2020

editing software, jumped up the download charts so quickly.

in 2022. Not only is CapCut made by TikTok’s parent company, but is
most commonly used as an editor of TikTok videos.
