TikTok goes past the 1.5 bln downloads figure in 2019 – Quick wrap

Social video app TikTok from ByteDance has just surpassed 1.5 billion downloads on the App Store & Google Play, according to Sensor Tower Store Intelligence estimates.

TikTok was the 4th most downloaded non-gaming app in the world last year, hitting 655.8 million unique installs. So far in 2019, the app had accumulated 614 million downloads — 6% more than it had by the same point last year. SensorTower feels it could surpass the 2018 total. At present, it is the 3rd most downloaded non-gaming app of the year, behind WhatsApp at No. 1 with 707.4 million installs & Messenger at No. 2 with 636.2 million. It sits above Facebook at No. 4 with 587 million downloads and Instagram at No. 5 with 376.2 million.

TikTok crossed the 1 billion downloads milestone in February 2019, taking just under 9 months to generate a further 500 million installs. It took slightly more than 7 months for the app to grow from 500 million to 1 billion global downloads.
