A new Comscore study says that while users are hitting the app stores, the most-used apps were made by Apple and Google.

The new Comscore study ranks the popularity of preinstalled iOS and Android apps, such as Apple's Messages, alongside apps made by other developers. The results show that most apps people use on their phones in the US come preinstalled by either Apple or Google.

Now before getting a torch and a pitchfork and rushing to burn something Apple or Googlish, the report was commissioned by Facebook, which is going through a phase of not liking Apple at the moment,  and it was only given to the Verge.

The report said that preinstalled services dominate when it comes to basics like weather, photos, and clocks, according to the report, suggesting these categories will be difficult for other apps to compete in. Defaults don't win out exclusively.  Few people are interested in Apple Maps and Music, and Gmail makes the iOS list several entries below Apple Mail.

The report focuses more on Apple given that it more tightly controls the apps that come preinstalled on the iPhone and don't allow developers to circumvent its App Store.
