TikTok retained its crown as the world’s most downloaded non-game app in April with 59 million installs, around half of the 107 million downloads it registered a year ago, according to mobile market analytics firm Sensor Tower.

The figures include the short video app TikTok and its Chinese sibling Douyin, both owned by Beijing-based ByteDance.
