Apple has revealed the most downloaded apps
of 2016 and the top spot should come as little surprise to those who have been
paying attention: Snapchat.
As if we needed more proof that Evan
Spiegel's app was having its best year ever,
Snapchat beat out Facebook, Instagram and Pokémon Go to be the
most-downloaded free app in the App Store in 2016, according to Apple.
Though much of the list will come as little
surprise as Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps and YouTube regularly land the top
spots in the App Store, the order may be less expected. Facebook's
much-maligned app, Messenger (which currently has an average App Store rating
of just three stars) landed the second spot, while the summer's massive hit
Pokémon Go came in at number three.
Snapchat also made the list last year but
was only ranked #5 (Trivia Crack, which made #1 in 2015, didn't even make the
top 10 this year.)
Here's the full list, according to Apple.
Snapchat
Messenger
Pokémon GO
Instagram
Facebook
YouTube
Google Maps
Pandora
Netflix
Spotify Music
Over on the paid charts, the apps are a lot
more varied, with Heads Up! grabbing the top spot (for the second year in a
row) and Face Swap Live and Minecraft: Pocket Edition right behind.
Apple also announced its editorial picks
for best apps of the year. Photo app Prisma landed best iPhone app of the year
while Clash Royale was named best iPhone game.
You can take a look at all of the apps that
made Apple's top lists on iTunes.
