Facebook
is more than three times as popular as Twitter on mobile and a host of other
apps, according to a survey.
Of
smartphone buyers asked to name the three most frequently used apps on their
mobile phones, 45 per cent said Facebook, while 13 per cent said Twitter and 11
per cent said Candy Crush Saga, the popular mobile game.
The
survey of 500 phones buyers in the US between June and September of this year
shows that Facebook is unchallenged as the leading app on smartphones,
according to the company which conducted the research.
Mike
Levin, co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), said:
“Facebook just dominates mobile phones, in terms of most frequent use, not just
downloads.
“For
most other apps, including some well-known ones like YouTube and Pandora, fewer
than 10 per cent of phone buyers included them among the most frequently used”.
Twitter
has 15 million active users in the UK, the company revealed in September,
representing about a quarter of the country's populatoin.
