So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.

I took it from instagram, it's probably not correct. If you confirm that this information is incorrect, I can delete the post so as not to spread misinformation.

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 3 points 5 days ago

No, no it's fine, I wasn't trying to dismiss the posting of this, it's just that I'm sad I couldn't find any sources. I found a bit odd that Temu was #1 where I live, and although it's up there, I'm still curious how they got their data.

[-] Kuma@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Maybe from this site: https://www.businessofapps.com/data/most-popular-apps/

You can buy reports too.

I couldn't find one with the whole Europe (free), but Italy is still wrong in the image tho.

All places I find seem to point at this source tho https://appmagic.rocks/

Like this page that you would think had their own data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/698982/leading-android-apps-in-norway-by-downloads/

They could also just have looked up news articles for all the countries. Crunch that data haha

Netherlands it is then.

[-] epicstove@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago

Based Netherlands.

[-] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 23 points 6 days ago

This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 31 points 6 days ago

It is the most downloaded app in 2024

I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.

And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

Because Google Play spams you with it, I guess.

Probably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I've downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.

It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it's after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.

This is a Temu ad

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

Damn, I didn't know the Netherlands were cool like that.

[-] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 1 points 5 days ago

Is TikTok just extra popular in failing countries?

[-] epicstove@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

I mean, if everything if falling apart around you and know you can't do shit then a bit of escapism looks pretty tempting.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

I'm reminded of something I read during the US ban, "nobody can afford bread and they're banning the circus."

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Klarna. Why? It is such a shit company.

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

My card keeping app was bought by Klarna. Had to migrate my account so I could even view them. Turns out Klarna is a bank, so now even deleting my account leaves sensitive information because banks have to keep those.

Also the UI was shit.
