The Snapchat-inspired titan dominates the ‘US Top 10 Popular Smartphone Apps of 2016’ by claiming rank #1. This result was the outcome of a report by Nielsen, which was published on Wednesday.

The result of the popularity comes as a bit of a surprise as 2016 was the year in which applications like Pokemon GO, Prisma, and the new Super Mario Run game took the world of gaming and tech by storm, yet they could not overtake Facebook, which remains America’s most popular application with 146 million active users.


Facebook Messenger followed behind at rank #2, with tech-giant Google right behind as YouTube, Google Maps. Google Search, Google Play, and Gmail come after at #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7.
