COVID-19 propelled mobile usage forward — achieving growth that would have otherwise taken 2 to 3 years. In Brazil, Business, Finance and Shopping apps saw the greatest year-over-year percent growth in downloads in Q2 2020 across iOS and Google Play at 220%, 125% and 95%,  respectively. 

Downloads of Finance apps in Brazil surpassed 184 million in Q2 2020. Part of this growth is due to demand for fintech apps. Among LATAM HQ’d companies, PicPay — a payment app — was the #1 fintech app by downloads in Brazil.
