It was enough to land the app at the top of the list of 2022’s most downloaded apps—a good 124 million downloads ahead of runner-up Instagram. It came in fourth place with 357 million new downloads, behind messaging app WhatsApp—one of several platforms on the list owned by Meta, along with WhatsApp Business, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Facebook Lite (a pared-down version of Facebook that uses less data and requires less storage space). Certain apps weren’t downloaded quite often enough to crack the top 25, but still came out on top in their individual categories—like McDonald’s, whose 127 million downloads made it the number one food and drink app; and Duolingo, which took the blue ribbon in education apps with 98 million global downloads.
