on iPhone: Half a Million Downloads in the US
The application ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is changing the game in the chatbot industry. Since its launch as an iPhone app, the platform has achieved impressive numbers, further cementing its presence in the mobile app market. In just the first five days of its US launch, the app received over 500,000 downloads. This marked the best debut for a new application on the Apple App Store in recent years, surpassing numerous competitors and setting a new standard for app success.
Incredible Data: No Rival since February 2022
According to a report by Data.ai, a mobile app market analyst firm, no other application has achieved similar results since February 2022. To put things into perspective, the last software to record similar numbers was Truth Social, Donald Trump's project, with 630,000 downloads in a single week. Data.ai's data is even more impressive considering that access to ChatGPT is currently restricted to 34 countries, excluding Italy.
Global Growth: From the App Store to International Expansion
Despite only being available in a few countries, the platform is growing rapidly. According to sources like TechCrunch, OpenAI is already working to adapt the chatbot to the regulatory requirements of various international markets. For example, the company is considering the specific laws and regulations of each country to ensure the app's smooth and seamless distribution.
ChatGPT on Android: What We Can Expect
OpenAI isn't stopping at iPhones, and developers are reportedly working on an Android version of ChatGPT as well. It's worth noting that several apps on the Android Play Store and Apple App Store promise to offer similar experiences to ChatGPT, albeit free of charge. However, the launch of the official app is expected to further raise the profile of ChatGPT, which is already partially integrated with Bing, Microsoft's web search engine.
In conclusion, the launch of ChatGPT on iPhone has set a new standard for chatbot apps, in terms of downloads and enthusiasm. With plans for global expansion and the launch of an Android version, it seems that ChatGPT is well positioned in the app market.
