Based on the results of 2025, Apple has released the list of the most popular apps on the App Store — and ChatGPT leads the rankings. Thanks to strong user interest, the app has outperformed its competitors and taken the top spot. Meta’s Threads comes second, while Google takes third place.
Other apps that made it into the top ten include TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, and Gmail. Interestingly, Google’s other AI assistant, Gemini, also managed to enter the list of most downloaded apps.
It is noteworthy how quickly this chatbot developed by OpenAI has gained popularity in such a short time. In 2023, ChatGPT did not even make it into the top ten. In 2024, it ranked only fourth, falling behind China’s Temu shopping platform. Now, however, the global demand for artificial intelligence has completely changed the landscape and pushed it to the very top.
