This Chinese app was most-downloaded iPhone app in US

The most-downloaded app on iPhones in 2023 was a Chinese e-commerce app called Temu, surpassing TikTok. Temu’s app attracted longer engagement times than Amazon. Chinese-based apps have taken over spots previously held by US tech giants like Meta and Google. Despite losing its top spot, TikTok remains popular. Temu’s app is the most downloaded free app in the US, with users spending an average of 18 minutes per day on the app, compared to 10 minutes on Amazon. Temu’s appeal lies in its in-app games and bargain prices, making it attractive during an economic downturn.
