These Are the Most Popular IPhone Apps in 2023

Posted on by

There are many applications in Apple’s App Store. According to some reports , there are more than 1.8 million options to choose from. So if your app is among the most popular programs of any year, you should definitely give yourself a pat on the back.

By the way, Apple just announced which iPhone and iPad apps were among the most downloaded in 2023 . The company broke these metrics down into four categories for each device: top free apps, top paid apps, top free games, and top paid games. There’s also a list of the best arcade games of the year for Apple.

What are the most popular iPhone apps in 2023?

Topping the list of most downloaded free iPhone apps this year is Temu , a discount marketplace that exploded last year. Whether you think it’s due to low prices on cheap items or aggressive advertising campaigns, Temu remains an insanely popular app in 2023. Most of the other apps on this list are no surprise: you have options like Max, Instagram, Google. , YouTube, WhatsApp and Gmail, but I find it interesting that Threads has been more popular than TikTok this year. This is almost certainly because Threads is a brand new app and TikTok’s huge user base already has it, but it’s still a testament to the hype around Threads, at least at launch. (Hey, there’s no X here.)

The top-paying iPhone app of the year was Shadowrocket , a rules-based proxy utility that lets you configure your iPhone or iPad’s Internet traffic through proxy servers. It’s similar to a VPN, but with much more control and helps protect your internet connection. Also topping the list is HotSchedules , an employee scheduling app; Procreate Pocket , which brings Procreate tools to your iPhone; and The Wonder Weeks , an app that will help you find out why your baby is crying. I’ve heard of fewer of these apps, probably because free apps are just attention grabbers these days, but it’s interesting to see which apps have convinced people to spend money.

MONOPOLY, GO! was the best free iPhone game of the year, and the list included many other familiar titles like Roblox , Subway Surfers , and Call of Duty: Mobile . It’s perhaps no surprise that people were willing to spend the most money on Minecraft this year, thanks to Heads Up! In second place.
