ChatGPT has been the most popular app for 7 straight months
"OpenAI's chatbot has been the most downloaded app across the Google Play and iOS App Store from March through September of this year, according to data from the mobile app analytics tool Appfigures. Year-to-date, ChatGPT's app has been downloaded an estimated 410.8 million times globally. The number far outpaces the estimated downloads of other AI apps, according to data the mobile app analytics platform shared with BI."
"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said ChatGPT had 800 million active weekly users when speaking at the company's DevDay conference on Monday. That's more than 10% of the world population, Harvard, Duke, and OpenAI researchers concluded in a recent paper. The platform processed over 2.5 billion messages a day as of July, the paper added, equivalent to 29,000 messages per second."
ChatGPT's mobile app led global downloads on Google Play and the iOS App Store from March through September, with about 410.8 million downloads year-to-date. Competing AI apps logged far fewer downloads: Google's Gemini at 131.1 million, DeepSeek 79.2 million, Grok 46.6 million, Perplexity 43.1 million, and Meta AI 16.9 million. ChatGPT reached roughly 800 million active weekly users and processed over 2.5 billion messages per day as of July, equivalent to about 29,000 messages per second. The download and usage figures indicate rapid, large-scale global adoption and substantially higher user engagement than other AI chat apps.
