According to Appfigures, which analyzes app information, ChatGPT downloads increased 28% from February to March 2025, reaching a total of 46 million downloads on the App Store and Google Play. ChatGPT ranked first in total downloads, surpassing TikTok, which was at the top of the previous month.
This is the first time that ChatGPT has ranked first in monthly downloads. ChatGPT's popularity has been steadily increasing, with downloads increasing 148% between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025.
At the end of March 2025, ChatGPT added the highly accurate image generation function '4o Image Generation' using GPT-4o, which became popular and generated more than 700 million images just one week after its release.

However, Appfigures analyzes that 'ChatGPT's growth is not due to new features.' Appfigures CEO Ariel Michaeli said, 'Many people think of ChatGPT when they think of AI, and ChatGPT is starting to be treated as a byword for AI. It's the same as Google when it comes to search. Even if Grok and DeepSeek become popular, people who are trying to get in touch with AI for the first time will end up using ChatGPT.' He pointed out that competing services will struggle in front of ChatGPT, which boasts overwhelming name recognition.
TikTok, which ranked third in total downloads this time, saw a sharp increase in downloads from February to March 2025. This is thought to be because TikTok, which was once removed from the app store due to the 'TikTok Ban Act,' has resumed distribution.
