List of most-downloaded Google Play applications

This list of most-downloaded Google Play Store applications includes most of the free apps that have been downloaded at least 500 million times. As of 2024, thousands of Android applications have surpassed the one-million download milestone, with a significant subset reaching even higher thresholds. For context, in July 2017 there were 319 apps which had been downloaded at least 100 million times, and 4,098 apps had been downloaded at least ten million times.[1] The 500-million download threshold for free applications has been established, as of 2024, to maintain the list's manageability and focus on the most widely distributed apps. It's worth noting that many of the applications in this list are distributed pre-installed on top-selling Android devices[2] and may be considered bloatware by some people because users did not actively choose to download them.[3] The table below shows the number of Google Play apps in each category.
