On the App Store, it’s also under the “essentials” section. The “Must-have iPhone apps”. Lmfao. I hate that state of technology in 2023. Burn it all down.
What would you expect the algorithm to be if not to recommend the apps installed and used the most on their platform?
I don't use TikTok or FB, but it's hard to blame them for suggesting apps that they have concrete usage data on saying they are the most used.
