Here is a look at this week's most downloaded free apps list on Google Play Store or Play Store.
Amazon India
Amazon India app has bagged the first spot for the most downloaded apps on the Play Store this week. It is one of the popular e-commerce platforms in the country, quite popular for its wide product range and reliable delivery channel. It provides a one-stop solution for the shopping needs of the buyers, ranging from electronics to fashion and hardware items. Amazon is hosting a 2-day Prime Day sale, which will end at midnight.
Flipkart
Flipkart is competing closely not only in the e-commerce space but also on the Google Play store as it emerged as the second most downloaded app on the Play Store list. Known for its competitive pricing and never-seen deals, the Flipkart app remains another favourite option among Indian buyers for all their needs. Following the footsteps of Amazon, Flipkart is too hosting its Goat Sale from July 20 to July 26, 2024, to offer existing offers and deals from electronics to apparel that keep the users engaged.
Meesho
Meesho is another popular shopping platform that has emerged in the top five downloaded apps list on the Play Store. The social commerce platform has been revolutionising the way people shop and sell online without any massive investment. Through this platform, users can effortlessly resell products through social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. This unique method has made Meesho a go-to option among small business owners.
Like last week, Meta-owned Instagram has emerged in the fourth position in the top five most downloaded apps list on Google Play Store for this week. With the changing trends, Instagram has revivified itself by introducing trending features such as Reels, Stories, IGTV, and shopping resulting in a wider audience. Instagram New Feature Update: Meta-Owned Photo and Video Sharing Platform Expands Notes to Reels and Feed Posts.
Instagram Lite
Instagram Lite is a lighter version of the regular Instagram app specifically developed for markets with slower internet connections or limited mobile data availability. Despite being a lite version, the app continues to offer its core features with a smaller app size. Instagram has ensured that this version remains accessible to a broader audience, maintaining the platform’s reach to a wider audience.
From Amazon India to Instagram Lite, the top five apps on the Google Play Store this week showcases the ever-changing preference in the digital space.
