Title: CapCut Emerges as the Most Downloaded iPhone App in June 2023, Beating Instagram and ChatGPT
The App Store on the iPhone has become an indispensable part of the iOS experience, offering users a vast array of apps for every task imaginable. While it may not boast as many apps as the Google Play Store, the App Store’s rigorous screening process ensures that only select, high-quality apps make it onto the platform. Social media giants like Instagram, TikTok, and ChatGPT have consistently dominated the monthly download charts, but the rankings for June 2023 offer a surprising twist.
According to the latest report from AppFigures, the most downloaded app on the iPhone in June 2023 was not a social media platform, but rather a video editing tool called CapCut. Developed by ByteDance, the all-in-one video editor surpassed all expectations with nearly 10 million downloads, narrowly edging out Google Maps and TikTok, which secured the 2nd and 3rd positions respectively with 9 million downloads.
Surprisingly, no social media app managed to break into the top 5 spots, with ChatGPT and YouTube taking 4th and 5th place, boasting 8 million downloads each. Instagram ranked just below Google at 7th place with 8 million downloads, while Temu, WhatsApp, and Gmail rounded up the top 10 with 8th, 9th, and 10th positions respectively.
However, Instagram had a different story to tell on Android devices, where it reigned supreme as the most downloaded app in June 2023 with an astounding 40 million downloads. The top 5 on the Android download list were predominantly occupied by social media apps, with Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Snapchat leading the pack.
Interestingly, CapCut also made its presence felt on Android, securing the 8th spot with 14 million downloads. Shein and Spotify wrapped up the top 10 list, with 13 million and 12 million downloads respectively.
In summary, CapCut’s unexpected rise to the top of the most downloaded iPhone apps chart in June 2023, ahead of popular social media platforms like Instagram and ChatGPT, emphasizes the growing demand for video editing capabilities among iPhone users. While social media apps continued to dominate the Android download rankings, CapCut’s cross-platform success affirms its appeal to a wide range of mobile users.
