    Not necessarily.

    Every time someone buys a new device they have to reinstall the app. So declining downloads could be indicitive of less users.

      Phone replacement is a high seasonality situation. CDN usage and access logs will absolutely show whether usage has declined or not. Release an iPhone and you see a major spike in new downloads, otherwise it’s probably all pretty much background noise.

      My guess is everything involving Twitter has been on a decline, and the things I did know I’m not able to share.
