Based Netherlands.
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.
Damn, I didn’t know the Netherlands were cool like that.
We’re so cooked.
Is TikTok just extra popular in failing countries?
I mean, if everything if falling apart around you and know you can’t do shit then a bit of escapism looks pretty tempting.
I’m reminded of something I read during the US ban, “nobody can afford bread and they’re banning the circus.”
This is a Temu ad
Kosovo out here just trying to avoid speed traps.
Netherlands it is then.
🤮
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.
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.
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
That’s depressing as fuck.
I know. Cheap crap is a stain.
It’s not about cheap crap, it’s about the predatory nature of almost all apps shown and how well-known it is that they’re ethically bad.
People love convenience. And most can’t be assed to get everything from ethical sources.
Just try going to a grocery store and buy tropical fruit that wasn’t picked by slaves or heavily exploited farmers.
Sure, it’s not impossible but it’s way easier and cheaper to go for the big brands.
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.
And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?
Because Google Play spams you with it, I guess.
Nice one Netherlands.
The Netherlands continues to be my top choice for a place to live if I end up fleeing my country. If they’ll have me.
If they’ll have me.
Not with the current political climate I’m afraid. Still hoping for a shift to the left, as our right wing parties just showed they are completely incompetent. Hoping for the best, expecting the worst though.
It’s expensive. Don’t forget to buy the floor for your apartment.
Edit: I’m serious about the floor. Apartments don’t come with flooring included.
I live in San Francisco, I’m used to things being expensive. The floor thing is crazy though.
I’m sure a lot of us here can say that’s the only one on the map we have
Surprised me though, although temu probably would’ve surprised me more
What’s that smiling ghost in Kosovo?

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
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?
Because of discounts
