Africa-Press-Ethiopia<\/a> TikTok led the chart of Christmas Day downloads ahead of Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp Messenger, and Snapchat.<\/p>\n

As for mobile games, “Brain Story: Tricky Puzzle”, “Poppy Rope Game”, “Metro Parkour”, “Free Fire” and “ROBLOX” ranked the top five in downloads.<\/p>\n
