AppsFlyer Performance Index Key Findings

Now, let’s review some key findings from the 2022 AppsFlyer Index. Along with demonstrating the landscape of app marketing, it also provided some key insights into the ecosystem. Such trending topics include the consequences of Apple’s privacy changes, economic downturns, post-COVID normalization of app usage, and more.

Mini Ecosystems Are Emerging

The consequences of ATT (app tracking transparency) continue to impact app marketers and media companies. iOS has two different worlds now. Additionally, gaming and non-gaming are two very distinct realms. As a result, these environments operate differently and have unique challenges.

ATT has put Meta in a compromising position, losing a significant share of iOS installs. Google did, as well. The big difference is that Meta’s main assets are apps. iOS is secondary to Google behind Android and isn’t app-centric but search.

Other Factors Influence the Market

In addition to economic uncertainty and downturns, the first half of 2022 had more influences. First, there has been some normalization after years of peaks in installs and revenue in a post-COVID world. Second, the war in Ukraine led to the suspension of activities in Russia for Google, Meta, and TikTok.

Google Ads and Meta Ads Lose Ground, Apple Search Ads Gained

In the aftermath of the aspects noted above, both Google Ads and Meta Ads lost market share. Meta still ranked at the top on the SKAN index but still had big hits from ATT.

Conversely, Apple Search Ads had gains, tripling its market share since the first half of 2020. They are now the number one media source for iOS.
