Truth Social was greenlighted and allowed in the Google Play store – it has now soared to the top of the Android app download charts.
It is not only the top social media app — but the most popular app overall.
Truth Social, the social media platform created by former President Donald Trump, has soared to the top of the Android app download charts after finally being allowed in the Google Play Store this week.
Upon becoming available, Truth Social quickly launched to the top of Android’s app downloads, making it not just the top social media app, but the most popular app in the Play Store overall, according to data from Sensor Tower.
This comes after Google greenlit the app for distribution on its Play Store for Android devices, which covers about 44 percent of smartphones in the United States.

Did anyone happen to notice that Truth Social is Number One, ahead of TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, and all others? Just asking!
Truth Social was initially blocked from approval after they claimed the app violated several policies.
Google has approved Donald Trump’s Twitter-like social media app Truth Social for distribution in the Google Play Store, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Nearly half of U.S. smartphone users rely on Google’s Android operating system, and the Google Play Store is the primary way Android users can access – and download – apps to their phones.
Catch up quick: Google and Truth Social have been in touch for months about the approval status for Truth Social.
Bad news for Big Tech!
