Conservative social media app Parler became the No. 1 app in Apple’s App Store on Saturday, less than 24 hours after Twitter permanently suspended President Donald Trump’s personal Twitter accounts on Friday.
According to mobile app analytics company Sensor Tower, yesterday Parler was the No. 11 app on the tech giant’s rankings and was installed approximately 210,000 times globally, up from 55,000 (281%) the day before, which made a huge jump from the day before that.
“In the U.S., the app saw approximately 182,000 first-time downloads on 1/8, up 355% from about 40,000 installs on 1/7,” a Sensor Tower spokesperson told TheWrap Saturday.
