Truth Social Gets Google Greenlight, Soars to Top of Android Charts

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.
Truth Social’s standing at the top of the charts makes it clear that a plethora of Android users have been patiently waiting for their chance to download the official app to their phones.
The approval of Trump’s Truth Social on Google’s app store was initially held up due to “content moderation concerns,” according to reports.
Truth Social has been available for iPhone users through the App Store since February, but Google had blocked the app from its Play Store for the majority of the year.
