We all know that with smartphones, one of the greatest assets it gave to us was the ability to download apps.

Regardless of its solution, everyone has at least one or two apps installed on their cellphones. But which are some of the most used apps in the U.S.A. this year?

Looks like the TikTok trend that started with the Covid-19 is far from being finished. In TikTok, you are able to create short videos (from 15 seconds to up 10 minutes) about many topics: dancing, entertainment, jokes, etc.

One of the main reasons is the rise of Start TikTokers, ordinary people who gained so much popularity in the app, that they became more famous than many stars pre-social media era celebrities, and more importantly, they became rich people overnight.

Or simply, the main reason is the almost limitless content that can make a person spend an entire day seeing new things.

One of the greatest social media ever, Instagram, alongside TikTok, is the rising app especially because of not only the capacity of creating millionaire people but also because people, especially young ones, are still into Instagram.

Not only that, Instagram was a mature version of how companies wanted to make ads for the people on the internet, with a more young and energetic approach, Instagram is fertile soil for a new businesses to show their leverages.

Be it because of the dynamism of stories and reels, or it’s just how well designed its feed is, Instagram is kind of the middle between TikTok and our next entry.

Many people believed that Facebook would die because of Instagram’s and TikTok’s popularity, but Facebook was one of the most downloaded and used apps in 2022!

The second entry of an app owned by Meta (former Facebook), when Mark Zuckerberg showed the world his idea of Metaverse, an improvement on our former idea of VR, skyrocketed people’s interest in Facebook.

Well played Mark, indeed.

WhatsApp has become one of the main ways of communication worldwide. With a very simple interface, along with all the features to a fast and rich communication (Via messages, audio, videos, or even phone calls).

WhatsApp isn’t a social media per se, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a sense of community with the creation of groups for many objectives. You can have a group for your work environment, where only important information or you can have a group with your family and friends all around the world.

During the pandemic, e-commerce has raised in a few years what was expected in a decade’s time. Because of that, no wonder why great online shopping has become more and more popular. One of its rising stars is Shopee.

A Chinese company focused on online shopping through a very accessible price, this app has seen quite an uprising due to its good prices, nice interface, and aggressive marketing.

Through this list, there are some very interesting conclusions we can take from it.

First, 3 of our top 5 apps are owned by Meta, which is quite a fantastic achievement for a company, regardless of its area.

Another thing is that 3 of the 5 apps are also social media, which shows us how different we are perceiving the world and our relations.

The greatest conclusion, however, is seeing how apps revolutionize our communication, only one of the apps was not focused on social interaction, which shows us how important these apps are in the modern world.
