Social video app TikTok has reached 1.5 billion downloads worldwide on the App Store as well as Google Play and India leads the chart with 466.8 million or about 31 percent of all unique installs.
In 2019, the app accumulated 614 million downloads -- six percent more than it had last year, reported mobile intelligence firm Sensor Tower.
India has been a fast adoptor in 2019, driving up 277.6 million downloads so far this year, or roughly 45 per cent of all global installs. China generated the second-largest amount of downloads with 45.5 million, or 7.4 percent, while the US is No 3 with 37.6 million installs, or about 6 per cent, this year.
The figure does not include installs from third-party Android stores in the country, said Sensor Tower.
