Apple Music has had an application available on the Android platform for quite some time, and according to the information published today, it has convinced tens of millions of people to install it. Apple's platform proved to be very interesting for Android users, so no less than 40 million installations have been made for it to date.
Apple Music has recorded millions of downloads on the Android platform in every fiscal quarter since its launch in 2019 and until now, according to data released today. As you can see from the image below, Apple Music has attracted a surprisingly large number of Android users, considering that there are so many alternatives on the platform.
Apple Music has CONVINCED TENS OF MILLIONS of Android Users
Apple Music has tens of millions of users worldwide at the moment, but it is not known how many are from the iOS platform, and how many from the Android platform, Apple refusing to provide these details. Despite the uncertainties, it is clear that Apple Music has several million people who are constantly active on Google's platform, where Google Music exists.
New users of the app in 4Q18 were up 43 percent over 1Q18, and we project that 1Q19 installs will total 3.8 million for a year-over-year increase of 65 percent. Google Play users in the United States account for approximately 28 percent of all Apple Music for Android installs to date, with India a distant second at about 7 percent of the total. Great Britain, Brazil, and Russia round out the app's five largest markets at 6 percent, 5 percent, and 4 percent of installs, respectively.
Apple Music is very far from catching up with Spotify, which has a lot of users on both iOS and Android, but it seems to be in the attention of many of those with phones with a competing operating system. Taking everyone by surprise with the decision to launch Apple Music on Android, the Apple company seems to be succeeding with a strategy that Steve Jobs would not have approved.
