Probably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I've downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.
It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it's after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.
We're so cooked.
Based Netherlands.
Is TikTok just extra popular in failing countries?
I mean, if everything if falling apart around you and know you can't do shit then a bit of escapism looks pretty tempting.
I'm reminded of something I read during the US ban, "nobody can afford bread and they're banning the circus."
This is a Temu ad
Kosovo out here just trying to avoid speed traps.
What's that smiling ghost in Kosovo?
Waze - A Google navigation app
Waze, it's a navigation app owned by Google
Netherlands it is then.
🤮
This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

Because Google Play spams you with it, I guess.
It is the most downloaded app in 2024
I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.
pretty sure this is bullshit. have seen some other maps on there too. unconvincing stats with no sources.
Klarna. Why? It is such a shit company.
My card keeping app was bought by Klarna. Had to migrate my account so I could even view them. Turns out Klarna is a bank, so now even deleting my account leaves sensitive information because banks have to keep those.
Also the UI was shit.
So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.
I took it from instagram, it's probably not correct. If you confirm that this information is incorrect, I can delete the post so as not to spread misinformation.
No, no it's fine, I wasn't trying to dismiss the posting of this, it's just that I'm sad I couldn't find any sources. I found a bit odd that Temu was #1 where I live, and although it's up there, I'm still curious how they got their data.
Maybe from this site: https://www.businessofapps.com/data/most-popular-apps/
You can buy reports too.
I couldn't find one with the whole Europe (free), but Italy is still wrong in the image tho.
All places I find seem to point at this source tho https://appmagic.rocks/
Like this page that you would think had their own data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/698982/leading-android-apps-in-norway-by-downloads/
They could also just have looked up news articles for all the countries. Crunch that data haha
TIL Bulgaria is the best country in Europe
And people say America is doomed, damn.
Brainrot generation, here we come!
Goddamn right Crimea is part of Ukraine.
