Some of it, I suspect, is inevitable. I studied this a while back and a lot of prominent countries were very close to the 50% switchover, including (interestingly) Italy.

Like for the Android app, there was a notable bump around Christmas, but also an even larger spike on January 14 - the reason is not clear to us.
Hello,
I would suspect it is related to Wikipedia turning 15 years old. The birthday has been well covered by news at least in France. A few acquaintance learned about the Wikipedia mobile apps by reading the news and started using it.
Quoting someone I met:
"I never heard you have a Wikipedia app. It is nice and usefull, much better than the web view".
Hearsay, I have no fact ...

I compiled some links at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:The_sudden_decline_of_Italian_Wikip... on the likely social reasons.
Pew research also had some numbers on the matter for USA, recently.
