US EditionChatGPT Tops Apple’s iPhone App Downloads for 2025
ChatGPT led free iPhone app downloads in the U.S. for 2025, reflecting strong AI adoption and surpassing popular apps like Threads and TikTok, Apple said.
- On Dec. 10, OpenAI's ChatGPT topped Apple's 2025 most-downloaded free iPhone apps in the U.S., as Apple released its annual rankings on Wednesday.
- After a global peak in March, ChatGPT surged to the top following its absence from the 2023 iPhone top ten, while last year Temu, Chinese shopping app, held first place.
- The rankings show Threads placed second, followed by Google, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail and Google’s Gemini in the U.S.
- Industry observers say the rankings indicate deep AI adoption and suggest OpenAI could challenge Google on mobile search, while reports note ChatGPT saves iPhone owners time and personalizes searches.
- Apple also released lists showing Procreate as the top paid iPad app and Block Blast, Fortnite and Roblox as leading free iPhone games, with Minecraft and Balatro topping paid games this year.
