What today's Google Play apps reveal
Four Meta clients occupy 1, 2, 4, and 6. Google occupies 3 and 10. The remaining four slots are games and Flipkart.
App Store Top Free moved today (ChatGPT to 1, 7 Brew Coffee in). Google Play did not. The two store boards are not the same chart.
get_growth was skipped. Play Store rows are ranked objects. Keyword history on this tool wants an Android bundle ID, which these display names are not.
The JSON as_of_ts is 2026-09-06T08:01:34.264149+00:00, with offset 0, limit 10, and count 10. Rank 1 WhatsApp Messenger, rank 2 Facebook, rank 3 YouTube, rank 4 Instagram, rank 5 Free Fire: 9th Anniversary, rank 6 Messenger, rank 7 Flipkart Online Shopping App, rank 8 TikTok - Videos, Shop & LIVE, rank 9 Clash of Clans, and rank 10 Google Photos. The same 10 names sat in the same order on the September 4 and September 5 files, which is three dated posts with zero rank changes. Four Meta clients occupy 1, 2, 4, and 6. Two Google clients occupy 3 and 10. The remaining four rows are Garena, Flipkart, ByteDance, and Supercell. App Store Top Free moved ChatGPT to 1 and added 7 Brew Coffee; this Play board did not copy that motion.
