Sorry Facebook… but TikTok has now overtaken as the world’s most downloaded app
The Chinese video-sharing platform is the only app not owned by Facebook to make the global top five of downloads for 2020
Mark Zuckerberg’s social media giant accounted for the rest of the top five, with Facebook as well as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger on the list
In china, TikTok’s owner ByteDance holds the top spot with the Chinese language video app Douyin.
Last week, it emerged that TikTok is trialling a new disappearing clips feature similar to functions on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram.
TikTok Stories will allow users to see content posted by accounts they follow for 24 hours before they are deleted.
Facebook-owned apps have held the top spot since the survey started in 2018.
