TikTok has continued to keep up its dominance because the app of alternative, for younger customers particularly, although there are some indicators that its development is now slowing after its meteoric rise over the previous two years.
In response to the newest information from AppFigures, TikTok was as soon as once more probably the most downloaded app in November, adopted by Instagram, Fb and TikTok enhancing app CapCut.
As you’ll be able to see in these charts, TikTok and CapCut had been truly one and two on iOS, whereas Instagram stays common on Android, which is not less than partially attributable to downloads of the app in India, the place TikTok is banned.
And regardless of the numerous rumors of its demise, Fb stays common, particularly in creating markets, whereas the general rise of CapCut as soon as once more factors to the affect of TikTok, and the expanded alternative for the app to facilitate new tendencies and monetization alternatives.
However as famous, there are some indicators of weak point in TikTok’s up to now unstoppable development machine.
In response to latest information sourced by way of Sensor Tower (and shared by Eric Seufert), US installs of TikTok declined virtually 33% year-over-year in November.
A development plateau, to a point, is anticipated, given total downloads of the app over time, however it’s price noting that Meta’s apps have continued to see obtain momentum, as TikTok has begun to sluggish.

Nevertheless it’s one other pattern to look at, and it’ll be fascinating to see if there’s a shift away from TikTok, or whether or not its development is definitely restricted to youthful audiences, very like Snapchat. Although even then, TikTok’s development has already far outstripped Snap in total utilization.
Will TikTok’s development trajectory proceed upwards in 2023, or will experiences of dangerous tendencies, reference to the CCP, and the continued replication of its options cease some customers from downloading the app?
It has appeared, up until now, that TikTok was merely going to eat each different app in its path, however possibly, we’re seeing the primary indicators of hesitation, which may mark a extra vital utilization shift within the subsequent yr. Â
