When we talk about a smartphone, apps are a must when it comes to using the smartphone. There are millions of apps out there ready to be installed by Billions of users worldwide but one question in mind will be which of those apps are the most downloaded so far?

According to one analytics firm, App Annie the top 10 most downloaded apps from 2010 to 2020 mostly consists of social media apps. These data comprise of Android and iOS users. One thing that is interesting is the fact that the top 4 of that list consists of apps under Mark Zuckerberg.


Social Media has been the medium where we simply used up most of our time on and it is simply an app we cannot live without. If you look at the list, Twitter is left far behind Facebook making it to the bottom of the list.

Top 10 of the list:


  • Facebook 
  • Facebook Messenger
  • WhatsApp
  • Instagram
  • Snapchat
  • Skype
  • TikTok
  • UC Browser
  • Youtube
  • Twitter


The rise of TikTok can be seen to be an interesting one since it was launched in 2017 as compared to its competitors Instagram and Snapchat that was launched earlier in 2010 and 2011 respectively. It may seem that it will catch up sooner or later. I mean who knows?!

Facebook Messenger comes in the second simply because you have to download it together with Facebook. Whatsapp and Instagram were bought by Mark Zuckerberg and simply ranked at the 3rd and 4th of the list.


Even the UC browser manages to top the list even though it was not approved in the USA. It is a web browser own by Alibaba Group.

Social Media will probably remain as the top list in the coming years since people simply just love using it. It's a platform where you share with other people your life and stories and it will probably remain for years to come.
