In the field of applications there are different milestones that must be taken into account. Either because an application becomes viral and manages to catch millions of users, or because manages to raise money The 10th App to Join the Billionaires Club in the App Store Google Play Store is, neither more nor less, Facebook MessengerThe messaging tool of the social network Facebook has managed to reach a new record in its history through the platform Android , offering a good data on the expansion that has been achieved. And it is that not all applications manage to reach this number.
In this way, Facebook Messenger already has a new interval in its data section of Google Play Store It already has between one billion installations and five billion, which means a wide spectrum of users only in the platform Android Of course, the installations may have also become uninstallations, so no it means over a billion are actively using the app. In fact, it's about a few hundred million fewer, but it's chasing that figure thanks to the sum of iOS and Android users
Along with Facebook Messenger, there are also other less surprising tools on this list. And it is that the vast majority belong to Google Thus, when arriving by default in terminals Android , it is logical that they manage to reach this figure. They are Google Play Books, Google Maps, Gmail (the first to achieve it), Google Text To Speach, Google+ (yes, oddly enough), Google Search and YouTube Other Facebook applications complete the list, such as the social network itself and the incombustible WhatsApp Next to them is the tool to request transportation known as Lyft and, finally , Facebook Messenger A very complete club that shows which are the most powerful tools, or at least that have attracted the most attention, of Google Play
With this the counter does not stop, adding installations and downloads and surpassing itself if these tools manage to maintain the traction of the users However it is a clear example of how communication continues to be the star among applications. It also helps that they are tools from large companies and that, in each case, had strong user support. Either because of its functionality, or because of the fame that they have managed to drag. Although one seems to be linked to the other. All this taking into account the added value of those applications that Google does not introduce pre-installed on mobile phones, which is a great help to enter this club of billionaires. And if not, tell Google+
In any case, a new achievement for Facebook Messenger, which is expected to continue to grow now that it has become a platform, beyond an app. In other words, a tool where other applications have a place to improve communication, make it more fun or simply enable new ways for users.
