Marketing research firm Nielsen has just released its list of the most installed apps on U.S. smartphones in 2015.

Unsurprisingly, leading the way with 126.7 million unique users is Facebook. In second place with 97.6 million users is YouTube. And in third is Facebook Messenger with 96.4 million users. Messenger also enjoyed the largest growth, gaining a 31% increase in users this year.

Google apps proved to be popular as Google Search, Google Play and Google Maps and Gmail, occupied fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh positions respectively.

A surprise entry is Apple Music, which had 54.5 million users. Also surprising is that popular webchat apps like Whatsapp, WeChat and Snapchat failed to make the list.
