ChatGPT Is Apple's Most Downloaded App of 2025 (techcrunch.com)

(Wednesday December 10, 2025 @10:30PM (BeauHD) from the surprise-surprise dept.)


An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch:

> Apple on Wednesday [1]released its annual list of the most downloaded apps and games for the year. For the U.S. market, OpenAI's ChatGPT [2]topped the ranks of free iPhone apps (not including games) with the most installs in 2025. The AI app was followed by Threads, Google, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, and Google's Gemini. ChatGPT made it to No. 4 last year, but the top spot was taken by Chinese shopping app Temu. In 2023, the AI app didn't make the top-10 list despite being released on the iPhone in May 2023 to a strong debut.

The "AI" is not user-friendly enough yet. I'll wait until it understands simple monosyllables and rude gestures from the coming Mowgli generation.

What a surprise that it's not the app that is spammed all over Slashdot!
