Installing falling Android applications from X hurts the subscription revenues

Elon Musk’s X is fighting on Android devices in terms of new installations, even during the growth of the application store downloads, according to new data from App Intelligence Appigors. In July 2025, Google Play downloads witnessed a significant decrease, as new installations decreased by 44 % on an annual basis all over the world, even with 15 % growth of iOS.

This sharp decrease in installations is the decrease in the total average of X, which leads to a 26 % decrease in total mobile phone downloads on an annual basis as of July. This is still slightly better than the previous month, when the total downloads decreased by 35 %, thanks to another sharp decrease in Android downloads, which decreased by half (49 %) almost an annual basis.

The company was not speculating to cause a decrease in Android devices to what exists that the X application on Android is known to be a painful place for the company. He was recently appointed X President Nikita Bier ProductIt is known for growth of the penetration of social applications in adolescence mystification and TBH (then sale they), I hinted that X is looking to address problems on Android, where its application is located Cartes drawn by notorious animals and mostly crash.

It is not clear where Android users go. The Bluesky competition has seen slowing growth in recent months, and its Google Play app has been withdrawn in 119,000 downloads only in July. There is no place near millions that fix x on iOS or Android every month. However, daily active users were in Meta Under the knee on mobile devicesPerhaps, some Android users can be calculated there.

In addition to the decrease in Google Play, X struggles to increase subscription revenues.

In July, X got the net revenue $ 16.9 million, a decrease from $ 18.8 million he obtained in March 2025. However, this was a simple sign of $ 16.8 million in June. (Of course, X still earns the majority of its total revenues from the ads, not excellent subscriptions in the application.)

While the demand for X on Android is partially responsible for revenue drops, X X will also lose customers to Grok. The latter now has his own Independent application That attracts those who were buying X -first subscriptions for artificial intelligence privileges.
