Apple reveals 2025's most-downloaded app in US. It's not Google, TikTok
ChatGPT tops Apple’s most downloaded apps of 2025 in the US as Threads, Google and TikTok follow in the annual App Store list.
Apple has shared its annual list of the most downloaded apps and games for iPhone and iPad across the US App Store this year. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has topped the list, followed by other apps like Threads, Google, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, and Google’s Gemini. According to an article published by TechCrunch, ChatGPT had made it to the fourth position last year, but the top spot was clinched by Chinese shopping app Temu.
In 2023, the AI app failed to make the top-10 list despite having been released on the iPhone in May 2023 to a strong debut, as reported by TechCrunch.
When it comes to the iPad, it is YouTube that has claimed the top position on the list of the top 10 free iPadOS apps. Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video are some of the other prominent mentions on this list. Among the top free iPhone games of this year, Block Blast! was placed atop the standings.
