OpenAI released it's trending ChatGPT app on iOS in the United States a few days ago. The app has made astonishing progress in its first week of availability, and the results are evident. Despite the app being solely available for iOS users in the United States, ChatGPT secured almost half a million downloads in less than a week. Scroll down to read more details on the app's popularity and when you can expect it to expand to additional regions.
ChatGPT ranks behind Truth Social in the biggest app launch ranking as it managed to accumulate almost half a million installs in less than a week
According to research conducted by data.ai, OpenAI's ChatGPT app accumulated almost half a million downloads in its first 6 days of availability (via TechCrunch). This is a massive start for a new app which makes it one of the most popular apps this year as well as the previous year. ChatGPT took its sweet time to make its way to the App Store officially. We have seen countless clones and other AI apps on the platform that claim to serve the same purpose to a certain extent. Additionally, these apps took advantage of OpenAI"s absence and the running demand for AI chatbots.
Despite these hurdles, ChatGPT managed to secure its spot as one of the highest-performing apps on the App Store. The App Store also housed apps that misled users to opt for a subscription to make use of AI information. ChatGPT's success even crossed Microsoft's Bing and Edge apps that housed GPT-4 integration. Take note that Bing and Edge apps from Microsoft topped the charts if we take into account all downloads in the United States. However, judging based on iOS installs only, ChatGPT takes the lead.
The results are also an indication of how the numbers would skyrocket if and when the app is available for Android. At this point, it is not clear when OpenAI will release the app for Android, but the company did say that it is in the works. Furthermore, the installs would further gain traction when ChatGPT will be released in additional regions. It was previously reported that OpenAI plans to release ChatGPT in 11 additional markets across the globe. Ultimately, ChatGPT will become one of the most installed AI apps on iOS and Android.
The data conducted is still in its initial stage since the app is new to the market. We will have a better understanding of the demand for the app once we receive a report related to the market feedback. This is all there is to it, folks. Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
