Brands keep paying for ads that work, so how long an ad has run is the signal. - "Days running" counts from the ad's start date in the Meta Ad Library to the day this page was measured. "Versions" is how many variations of the same ad the brand made. - A brand gets its own page once 3 or more of its ads qualify. Each ad links to its page in the Meta Ad Library, where the creative itself can be seen. ## FAQ **What ads is one sec app running on Facebook and Instagram?** 5 ads qualify this week: “My screen time went down 3 hours per day” (product demo, 1,074 days); “FRICTION REMOVES INSTANT DOPAMINE FROM APPS.” (product demo, 1,073 days); “Apple CEO Tim Cook says that” (talking head, 1,070 days); “POV: giving Mark Zuckerberg a reason to hate you” (lifestyle, 889 days); “I couldn't stop thinking about the saddest place I've ever been to, so I took my computer and made a new app.” (founder to camera, 869 days).
