South Africa's most popular smartphone apps on Android and iOS

While social media apps are still fairly dominant in South Africa when it comes to the most popular free apps, the trend has shifted slightly, with fewer of these apps making the Google Play Store and Apple App Store top 10 lists.

The trend also appears to have changed for paid apps. Games dominated the top ten paid apps on both stores in 2021; however, no games feature in either list this year.

The fact that TikTok is above an app such as Whatsapp is concerning.
