๐ฑ Top Grossing Google Play Categories in Q1 2019
There are some stark contrasts here with the top iOS grossing categories in Q1 2019. We're all just humans with #smartphones, and yet, how #iOS users and #Android users spend their money on mobile varies so drastically.
Business apps are getting a lot more spend from Android users. Entertainment is still a power category, but definitely less so in North America and Latin America. The most significant drop-off is spending on Social apps. The category is completely gone from the top 10 Google Play picture. Like Social, the Lifestyle category is gone from the top list altogether.

๐ฑ Top Grossing iOS Categories in Q1 2019
Entertainment apps are where consumers are easily convinced to spend their hard earned money. Apps like #Netflix, #Hulu, OZEE, Hotstar provide us entertainment when we're bored or traveling. That this category sits up top is likely not surprising.

๐ฑ For App Makers: Apple's App Store vs Google Play
Despite the fact that the installed base of #Android devices is significantly larger than it is for #iOS devices, app publishers still seem to find larger earnings potential on #Appleโs #AppStore compared to #GooglePlay.
According to Sensor Towerโs estimates, the top 100 iOS app publishers made $84 million on average in Q1 2019, compared to $51 million for the most successful Android app makers. The difference between the two platforms is even more pronounced when excluding games publishers. The highest-grossing non-gaming app publishers for iOS outperformed the top 100 on Googleโs Play Store by 232 percent.

๐ป Snapchatโs Audience Jumps
Data published in #Snapchatโs self-serve tools show that the platformโs advertising audience jumped by a massive 19% in the past three months, reaching a total of 369 million users by July 2019. That translates to an increase of almost 60 million users since April, with growth rates consistent across all age groups.
Itโs not just Snapchatโs data that shows the platform is growing, either. According to App Annie, Snapchat saw a surge in downloads with the release of new #AR filters and its new, faster #Android mobile app, over the past three months.
