    My guess would be that none of the big, well known brands are in the top ten and that those are instead useful utilities that almost everybody uses but rarely talks about.

      I’m trying to think of what useful utilities I’ve had that I had to download from the app store, which didn’t come pre-installed. I don’t think Material Files, JuiceSSH, Notally, Shazam, etc could be more popular than something mainstream like Instagram.

      I wonder if there is a list somewhere. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-downloaded_Google_Play_applications lists a lot of apps that come pre-installed, like Google Maps.

        The reason why I was thinking it would utilities is that the big name brand social media stuff often pays to come pre-installed.

          I wouldn’t count that as top 10 downloaded either, but I see how they would count as top installed apps or top most popular.
