Dictoc has dropped Facebook and become the best app worldwide with downloads

Mobile application analytics firm App Annie has released its annual report on mobile trends for this year. The report for 2020 is very interesting considering how the corona virus infection and its consequent locking has re-established vital mobile applications and services in our lives. In fact, the Corona virus crisis “accelerated our mobile adoption by 2 to 3 years,” according to a report by App Annie.

With that acceleration came new records. Initially, there is a new king in the city when it comes to the best app downloaded worldwide in 2020. When iOS and Android downloads were merged, Dictoc topped the list of most downloaded apps by three places, surpassing Facebook as the most downloaded app in 2020. Not only Facebook, but Dictoc delivered a big blow. As Ann Annie’s report points out, über’s popular app cuts across other apps:

The tidal wave of Dictoc continued throughout 2020 – especially as it rallied to create, socialize, and entertain content-hungry consumers – increasing its cross-application with major video streaming players such as Netflix, which not only blurred the lines between Dictoc. Social and streaming but in the streaming world it is a force to be reckoned with in its own right, and is set to enter the 1 billion monthly active user club by 2021.
