Facebook and Google have long dominated the app store, but they’re losing ground to younger tech upstarts.

Snapchat, which went public in March, became a top 10 most-downloaded app in eight of the 10 biggest app markets this year, according to data from app analytics company App Annie.

But Snapchat’s biggest growth comes from Bitmoji, the personal emoji app Snapchat parent Snap acquired last year. At the time, Bitmoji wasn’t in any of these top 10 rankings. Now Bitmoji is the No. 1 most-downloaded app in five top markets: The U.S., U.K., France, Canada and Australia.
