The Truth Social app ranked number one in downloads in the Google Play online store for Android devices. After it was blocked by Google due to insufficient moderation of its content, Donald Trump's social network achieved more than 100,000 downloads in its first few days.

Truth Social has been well received by the public since Friday, the first day it was available on Google Play, so much so that it surpassed in number of downloads other well developed apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Amazon or TikTok.

The CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, the company that owns Truth Social, Devin Nunes, congratulated his team for the work done on the John Solomon Reports podcast and explained that the goal is to create an "internet superhighway":

It took us a while to get here. But we're glad to be here. So we're hopeful now that everyone who has an Android can either go to the Google Play Store or the Samsung Galaxy Store and download the app. We have very dedicated people who believe in free speech and who work 24/7 around the clock. I mean, this is how we're able to do this. We're constantly building and testing one brick at a time very. It's very methodical, and just making sure that we can't be taken down by a tech oligarch.

In addition, Nunes confirmed that they are still working to continue improving the social network and indicated what the company's next step will be:

Our next feature to come out is direct messaging. So that you can be not only in a social network and get your news, but people that you follow, and people that follow you — you'll be able to communicate with them. And it's all part of us building out this separate ecosystem of giving the American people their voice
