Some people look forward to a fancy dinner or a night at the theater. Us? We wait for the app roundup.
Don’t judge us: In February, TikTok took the top spot despite being banned in the US for most of the month.
Instagram came in second, and Facebook third.
And for the first time in what feels like forever, Meta’s triple threat was broken up by none other than ChatGPT.
Despite competition from DeepSeek and Grok, OpenAI’s app was the most downloaded on the App Store and ranked third overall. Facebook and WhatsApp followed in fourth and fifth.
So helpful: TikTok celebrated its download chart win by releasing a US economic report revealing that:
- 7.5M US businesses use the platform.
- Nearly 4.7M workers benefit from it.
- 74% of US businesses say TikTok has helped them scale.
That’s a lot of businesses on the app—something supporters will likely use to push back against a ban.
If your brand depends on TikTok, you’re in good company. Will this fresh data help its case?
