That’s a lot of people who, quite suddenly, found themselves homebound. This makes sense considering that India had the largest lockdown in the world-from March 25 to May 2020, 1.3 billion people were instructed to stay inside.

That translates to 58 million new active users-almost the entire population of Italy. India saw the highest increase in downloads, rising by 156%. Here’s a look at the regional breakdown: Region Growth, by Number of Downloadsīetween Q1 and Q2 2020, health and fitness app downloads grew by 46% worldwide.
