Zoom has dethroned the many popular entertainment apps like WhatsApp, TikTok, and Instagram on Google Play Store. The basic version of Zoom allows up to 50 participants to join a video conference call. Interestingly, Zoom is the only app in the market currently that allows more than 10 people to join a call. This is the reason why it has become the most preferred app overnight for working professionals. Zoom so far has over 50 million downloads on Play Store and the numbers are only going up.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp slipped to the fifth position despite a surge in usage. The app with over 400 million users in the country has always remained on the top two.
Zoom is one of the tech companies that has hugely benefitted from the coronavirus pandemic so much so that Adweek called it the king of quarantine economy. With more and more people working from home, Zoom became the sought after app as it specializes in remote working and video conferencing software.
