Last month’s leader TikTok moved to second position in November with about 55 million downloads. Most often, the TikTok mobile app, or rather its Chinese version Douyin, was downloaded on the home market. Users from the Middle Kingdom account for 12% of downloads, while another 8% of downloads were provided by residents of Indonesia. Sensor Tower’s five most popular non-gaming apps in November also include Facebook, Weather & Radar USA, and Instagram.
