After one of the most head-spinning rises in the social media landscape, the short-form video app grew its user count five times to 1.92 billion worldwide and hit impressive lifetime downloads., after one of the best quarters in the app`s history, TikTok crossed more than 4.4 billion lifetime downloads.TikTok took the world by storm only a few months after its release in 2017.
A year later, the app hit 703.7 million downloads worldwide. But that was nothing compared to 2020, the best year for TikTok downloads so far. That year alone, the app was downloaded nearly 985 million times, or 40% more than a year before. Statistics show downloads dropped to 718 million in 2021 as life returned to normal. The increasing trend continued last year, which saw 861.8 million downloads.
