On Monday, Apple dropped its list of the most popular iPhone and iPad apps of the year across a number of categories. Just like last year, Temu was the most popular free app of 2024. People still love buying cheap products, so perhaps that isn't a surprise. But it's app number two that I'm most interested in: Threads. Meta's version of "X" has had a great year, as former X users look for an alternative to the platform formerly known as Twitter. We'll have to see if Bluesky keeps its current momentum, though. If it does, it just might make it to the list in 2025.
AI apps from OpenAI and Meta
ChatGPT was the fourth most downloaded free app of 2024, and it makes sense: AI is everywhere, and people are still curious about it. But it is the only overtly AI app to make it onto the top 10 lists here. Perhaps that speaks to ChatGPT's notoriety, or that AI's hype isn't as huge as some would portray it to be. In any case, I think it was a smart move for Meta to integrate its AI services directly into apps like Instagram and WhatsApp. As much as I dislike Meta AI, these apps were the sixth and seventh most popular of the year. That's a lot of exposure, something that a dedicated Meta AI app probably wouldn't have achieved.
The most popular games
As far as games go, MONOPOLY GO! is still on the list, but drops to the second most popular free game. Topping the chart this year was Block Blast!, a puzzle game that was seventh on the list in 2023. Roblox and Subway Surfers were back this year, as was a Call of Duty title, but this year—Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The top two paid games of 2024 are exactly the same as they were last year: Minecraft and Heads Up! No surprises there.
