Facebook app downloads drop 30% in a year


Facebook is losing ground to rivals when it comes to app downloads. — AFP Relaxnews

In the space of a year, the Facebook app has seen a 30% drop in downloads from Google Play and the App Store, according to a new report from AppFigures. This could be linked to a new privacy policy, as well as the growth of TikTok.

With over 2.8 billion monthly active users, Facebook is still a social media giant. However, for several years, the application has been experiencing a form of abandonment in favour of other, newer social networking sites. Many users have deactivated, or even deleted their accounts.
