Intragram Becomes The World's Number 1 App After Surpassing TikTok And Facebook

Mar 15, Kathmandu- When it comes to the world's number 1 app, people often think that Facebook or TikTok will come first, but that's not the case.

Now Instagram has overtaken both these apps and reached the first number. In particular, Instagram has benefited from TikTok being banned in some countries. Apart from this, there are some other reasons why TikTok is lagging.

According to the Sensor Tower report, the download of Instagram in the world has increased by 20 percent. In 2023, the Instagram app was downloaded 767 million times, which is 20 percent more than the previous year i.e. 2022. Talking about TikTok it was downloaded 73.3 million times. This Chinese app is banned in India, while preparations are underway to ban it in the US.

Instagram's popularity has increased since 2020 as Reels was launched this year. Instagram Reels has been launched only after the craze of people's videos. Instagram Reels is a feature where users can share videos on the platform by creating short clips.

Instagram's Reels feature is most popular among the younger generation. Young people make videos on various topics and share them on Instagram. This is the main reason for the growing popularity of the Instagram app, according to international media.

Instagram may be the number 1 app in the world in terms of downloads, but TikTok is still ahead when it comes to spending time. Statistics from last year show that users spent an average of 95 minutes on TikTok compared to 62 minutes on Instagram. Apart from this, the data shows that users spent 30 minutes on Twitter and 19 minutes on Snapchat.
