ChatGPT Surpasses Instagram and TikTok as March's Most Downloaded App

ChatGPT became the most downloaded app in March, surpassing Instagram and TikTok. With 46 million new downloads, ChatGPT's rise is driven by key upgrades and its growing brand recognition.

In a remarkable turn of events, ChatGPT has become the most downloaded app globally in March, surpassing popular platforms like Instagram and TikTok. This milestone marks the first time ChatGPT has topped the monthly download charts, with a significant 28% increase in downloads from February, reaching 46 million new installs. The surge in popularity can be attributed to several key upgrades, including enhancements to its image-generation capabilities, which allowed users to create images and memes in the style of Studio Ghibli. Additionally, OpenAI's decision to relax content moderation policies and improve ChatGPT's AI voice feature contributed to its viral success.

App intelligence provider Appfigures reported that ChatGPT's installs have grown by 148% year-over-year, highlighting the app's growing influence. The brand recognition of ChatGPT has become so strong that it is often synonymous with AI, much like Google became synonymous with internet search in the 2000s. This brand power poses a challenge for other AI chatbots to gain traction, with competitors like Anthropic's Claude struggling to match ChatGPT's performance.

While Instagram and TikTok have traditionally dominated the app download charts, ChatGPT's rise reflects a broader interest in AI technologies. Instagram, which had previously held the No. 2 spot, and TikTok, which was No. 1 earlier this year, have seen fluctuations in their rankings due to various factors, including concerns over potential bans and market dynamics.

The overall app download landscape in March saw a total of 339 million downloads across the top 10 apps, indicating a growing appetite for digital solutions. As ChatGPT continues to evolve and capture the imagination of users worldwide, it sets a precedent for the future of AI-driven applications.
