We often talk about the popularity of Google Maps among smartphone users. The app powers navigation experiences on Android and iPhone, with Google releasing exciting new features on a regular basis. And we now have actual evidence that proves just how popular Google Maps is. The Google Maps app reached 10 billion downloads on Android, which puts it in a very exclusive club.
Only two other apps have ever hit this remarkable milestone, and they come from Google as well. One of them is Google Play services, an app you don’t actively use, which reached 10 billion installs in July 2020. Unsurprisingly, YouTube is the other Android app to top 10 billion downloads, having reached the figure this past July.
