New Delhi, April 2 (SocialNews.XYZ) TikTok, including Douyin on iOS in China, has emerged as the top grossing non-game app in Q1 2022.
TikTok generated $821 million in consumer spending this quarter. On Google Play, it came second to Google One, which topped the chart with nearly $250 million, reports Sensor Tower.
First-time downloads across the App Store and Google Play climbed 1.1 per cent Y/Y in 1Q22, reaching 36.8 billion downloads. Both platforms saw approximately the same growth, with Apple's marketplace rising 1.2 per cent Y/Y to 8.5 billion downloads and Google's store growing 1.1 per cent Y/Y to 28.3 billion.
TikTok saw the most downloads across both marketplaces combined as well as on Apple's platform, while Meta maintained its grasp on the top of the Google Play chart.
