San Francisco: US-based search engine giant Google has, for the first time in five years, unseated Facebook as the top publisher of mobile apps.
###
In the last quarter of 2019, Google amassed close to 850 million downloads compared to Facebook’s nearly 800 million, analytics firm Sensor Tower revealed recently.
###
When it comes to overall downloads for the year, however, Google still trails behind Facebook.
###
While Google raked in nearly 2.3 billion downloads, Facebook gained almost 3 billion downloads over the past 12 months.
###
Facebook owns four out of the top five most downloaded apps worldwide, including WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, that does not come as a surprise.
###
ByteDance-owned video sharing app TikTok was the world’s second-most downloaded app in 2019.

Sensor Tower also reports that TikTok’s revenue grew by a massive 540 per cent year-on-year in Q4 2019.

Additionally, Disney+ was downloaded more than 30 million times in Q4 2019 in the US, which is more than double of its next nearest competitor, TikTok.

In terms of revenue, Disney+ grossed more than $50 million in its first 30 days, beating out other subscription video on demand (SVOD) rivals, like HBO NOW and Showtime.
