Requesting data about mobile usage of the Chinese speaking communities in America, Australia, Thailand and Taiwan. iOS users - wiki users and users in general.

Time range: last 3-5 years?

Event Timeline

The iOS app store does not give us stats on user language, so instead we used the distribution of users with Chinese language selected as primary language in app (from MobileWikiAppiOSSessions) to extrapolate against total users by the country data we get from App Store Connect.

Country% Chinese language users
Australia Active Users2.8%
Taiwan Active Users75.3%
Thailand Active Users2.6%
United States Active Users3.6%

I also made an extrapolation based on users who selected Chinese language variants in their feed cards using data from MobileWikiAppiOSUserHistory. Both dimensions give us a reasonable idea of distribution of Chinese lang variant users for iOS app users.

Adding Android Chinese Language data here for reference. The same data collection/extrapolation process applies to this data. Most notably, 90.5% of the Taiwan Android users are using Chinese language wikis. The rest of the countries hover at around the same percentages as iOS.
