OpenAI's ChatGPT has overtaken Instagram and TikTok to become the world's most downloaded app in March. This information has been given in a report by App Figures. Ever since OpenAI added the Ghibli-style art studio tool to its ChatGPT, the number of downloads of this app has been increasing continuously.

The report says that this surge in downloads has come since OpenAI launched a new image generation tool. After the arrival of this tool, the trend of creating Ghibli-style studio art became viral. Millions of people downloaded the app to try this feature, due to which its download numbers broke records. According to the App Figures report, according to our estimate, ChatGPT had 46 million downloads in March - slightly more than Instagram.

Surpassed Instagram and TikTok

Instagram and TikTok also recorded good download figures, but ChatGPT left them behind. ChatGPT had a total of 46 million downloads, of which 13 million were on iOS and 33 million on Android. Instagram also had 46 million downloads, but their distribution was different: 5 million on iOS and 41 million on Android. TikTok followed with 45 million downloads, of which 8 million were on iOS and 37 million on Android.

There is no doubt about ChatGPT's growing downloads. The app saw a 28% increase from February to March and a 148% increase in 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Brad Lightcap, Chief Operating Officer of OpenAI, recently shared some impressive statistics. Lightcap highlighted the first week of ChatGPT's photo creation capabilities. More than 130 million users have created more than 700 million photos since the feature's launch last Tuesday. This figure shows how 'viral' this feature has become.
