    Over the past two Covid-ridden years we have undoubtedly, as humanity, collectively spent far too much time on our mobile phones. But who can really blame us when we’ve all but been forced to stay at home to avoid getting sick?

    Technology has helped keep us busy and keep our minds occupied while staying in our houses. Whether enjoying a streaming service, listening to music, or taking in social media content, it is estimated that the average person spent around 5 hours on their phone in 2021.

    There are some standard household apps which make the list for most downloaded in 2021. Apps such as YouTube, Snapchat and WhatsApp all make the list quite easily, but there was room for a few new entries to claim a spot on the list.

    We will be looking at some of the newer released apps which gained serious popularity and momentum during 2021 and rose to the top of everyone’s app store.

    TikTok

    TikTok has quickly become a global phenomenon and one of the most popular social media apps the world has ever seen. Amassing nearly 1 billion downloads in 2021 (658 million) the app’s popularity rose to levels no one could have expected when it came out back in 2016.

    Taking the reins from the now-deceased Musical.ly, TikTok is a short-form video platform where people generally upload content that ranges between the 5-30 second mark.

    There is so much variation in the content on the app that no matter what your interests are you will find something to enjoy.

    TikTok is showing no signs of slowing down in 2022 and many social media apps are now taking ideas from the app.

    CapCut

    Content creation seems to be the driving motivation behind the popularity of many iOS and Android apps in the present day. This could be because online content is now a stable and accepted form of income creation for many people around the world.

    CapCut is an app that gives you the tools to edit videos in any way you see fit. The app allows you to cut, slow down, add effects and stickers, add sound and music to create a video just as you see it in your mind.

    CapCut amassed 250 million downloads in 2021.

    Subway Surfers + Roblox

    Mobile gaming is now at a point where it is an accepted competitor of major gaming consoles. Subway Surfers and Roblox were the two most popular games in 2021.

    Both games are relatively old with Subway Surfers releasing back in 2012 and Roblox coming out all the way back in 2006. The developers of these games have worked tirelessly since their release to keep adding new content and have players always coming back for more.

    The most exciting part about mobile apps is that we’re still in somewhat of an infancy stage as new apps are being conceptualised, developed, and released on a daily basis. Even the rewards at https://onlinecasino.com.pk/bonuses/ change all the time for mobile players. Who knows what the next breakout app will be in 2022.
