Since Threads was the most recent to launch, it makes sense that it has more new downloads. Additionally, there seems to be renewed interest in Facebook following the redesign aimed at engaging this social media-savvy generation. (While we cannot definitively determine whether the update directly influenced the spike in downloads, it’s worth noting the potential correlation.)
Google, another tech giant, has also amassed a decent amount of downloads so far this year. The search engine app saw 17.65 million installs, whereas other Google-owned products Chrome and Meet saw 10.19 million installs and 9.63 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Google Drive garnered 7.22 million downloads, and Google Photos had 6.79 million.
