      Yeah, what’s up with Latvia? Why would people mass-download a grocery store app? Besides, iki is better. At least it was 10 years ago. Do they still have iki?

        I’m from Latvia. I have the app, but I don’t believe for 1 second that it’s the most downloaded one. Hell, half the country doesn’t even like that grocery store and would much rather go to Rimi.

          I don’t remember Rimi. Is it new or was it just small back then? The two main ones were Maxima and iki.

          Happy cake day, btw.

            Yeah, Iki was a loong time ago. Rimi has been the “main” grocery store for quite some time. Maxima has gathered a reputation of being a bit trashier, but also cheaper.

            Didn’t even notice I joined Lemmy a year ago, thanks!

      can it though, or just claims to be able to? as I know no apps without root privileges cqn do such things. unless it just searches things in the gallery recycle bin, in which case it is again useless because the gallery app can be used for that

    Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It’s a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.

      I don’t know if it was the case in other countries but in Belgium a very popular app used to store loyalty cards was bought by Klarna. It was not really clear that you could continue to use the old app for a while and not switch to Klarna. So I know a lot of people that just installed the app just to be able to have access to their cards.

      We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.

        Not just support it but sometimes it’s the only option, so you also have to support their business even if you just paying upfront. (and hand over your personal data)

    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?

      It is the most downloaded app in 2024

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

    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.

      Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their “shop now, buy later” function

          Credit cards are not that wide spread in many parts of Europe opposed to the US. I guess it’s more like PayPal with the possibility to pay later. But yes, I also use my debit/credit card for online payment, which is a step more as I have to enter many numbers for that.

          Credit card with no interest or very very low interest.

          It’s like lay-away for people old enough to remember that, except you get the product immediately instead of later.

            Yikes, that sounds bad. Credit cards aren’t really known for being above-board there either.
