Since March 2020, Covid-19 has presented us all with a lot of difficulties. Mobile phones have been the answer at this time to the idleness and restlessness caused by being indoors.

In the first month of 2020, according to data obtained by SensorTower, TikTok succeeded in replacing WhatsApp as the most downloaded app in the world.
