TikTok Surpassed Facebook in Time Spent Per User
For the first time users are investing more time in TikTok than Facebook according to information from a new report on app usage.
Application Annie reports that time spent on TikTok is up 325% year-over-year, which implies it’s presently beating Facebook in terms of hours spent per user every month.
Normal time spent is up for essentially every application in each market; however few are up by as much as TikTok.
TikTok ranks in the best 5 by time spent, and the rate at which it grew over the previous year dominates nearly every other application analyzed in the report.
It ranks #1 in the list of top breakout applications in 2020, which ranks applications by growth in monthly active users over the previous year. TikTok is on target to hit 1.2 billion active users (MAU) in 2021.
In social media, the 1 billion MAU club is an elite group of applications comprising of Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and China’s WeChat. It’s no small deal that TikTok is projected to land itself a spot among these applications before the year is out.
