Based on data from the research company Apptopia, TikTok was crowned the most downloaded application globally in 2022. The number of new downloads of the short-video application from Bytedance reached 672 million throughout last year.

“For three consecutive years, TikTok has been the most downloaded mobile application worldwide,” as reported on Apptopia.com.

Besides TikTok, another Bytedance application made it into the top 10: CapCut. This video editing application was downloaded 357 million times last year, ranking fourth globally.

Meta had three applications in the list: Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook.

Instagram recorded 548 million downloads, placing it second globally. WhatsApp recorded 424 million downloads throughout 2022.

Telegram also saw 310 million downloads. This application is generally considered an alternative to WhatsApp.

Subway Surfers and Stumble Guys are two games that made the list of the most downloaded applications globally last year. In 10th place is Spotify, the only music streaming application in the top 10 most downloaded global applications of 2022.

Apptopia counted application downloads from January 1 to December 20, 2022, on both iOS and Android. However, specifically in China, Apptopia only counted iOS downloads.

The research company also counted downloads based on each user's downloads. This means that users who uninstalled an application and then downloaded it again were not included in the count.

Here are the 10 most downloaded applications globally in 2022:

1. TikTok: 672 million downloads
2. Instagram: 548 million downloads
3. WhatsApp: 424 million downloads
4. CapCut: 357 million downloads
5. Snapchat: 330 million downloads
6. Telegram: 310 million downloads
7. Subway Surfers: 304 million downloads
8. Facebook: 298 million downloads
9. Stumble Guys: 254 million downloads
10. Spotify: 238 million downloads
