Consumer Spending Highlights
TikTok topped the revenue charts once again. With $384 million in global earnings across Apple and Google’s stores, it pulled in more than any other app, by a good stretch. That’s the highest monthly total the platform has brought in so far. Most of that came from iOS users, but Android still contributed over $100 million.
ChatGPT came in second. It brought in $185 million across both platforms, with Apple users accounting for the bigger share. The app might not have cracked into every household yet, but judging by its recent run, it’s getting there faster than most.
YouTube, Tinder, and Disney+ followed behind. Tinder earned about $133 million, placing it just ahead of Disney+, which saw its numbers dip slightly to $112 million. Google One and HBO Max tied at $92 million each, showing that cloud storage and streaming remain strong categories.
Other names in the top ten included CapCut, which passed $80 million, and Tencent’s QQ and Video platforms, which saw consistent engagement out of Asia.
Top Earners by Platform
On iOS alone, TikTok held the top spot with $266 million. ChatGPT landed second at $147 million, and YouTube brought in $137 million. Tinder and Tencent Video rounded out the top five. HBO Max, Disney+, CapCut, QQ Video, and LinkedIn also made the list, each pulling in more than $55 million.
Over on Google Play, TikTok still led, though the gap narrowed. Google One took second with $92 million. Disney+ followed, with $45 million, and Amazon’s app brought in just under that. ChatGPT placed fifth on Android with $38 million, while Tinder, Spotify, and HBO Max hovered around the $30 million mark.
Global Download Trends
ChatGPT didn’t just bring in money, it also brought in the most new users. It was the most downloaded app worldwide in June, with 50 million new installs — 15 million on iOS and 36 million on Android. That’s two months in a row where it led the field.
TikTok came in second overall with 37 million installs, beating Instagram by a nose. Instagram followed at 36 million, then came Facebook with 30 million and WhatsApp with 28 million. CapCut stayed close behind, and apps like Temu, Threads, and Telegram kept a solid presence in the top ten.
Looking just at iOS, Threads ranked second with 11 million installs, right behind ChatGPT. Google’s suite of apps, from Maps to Gemini, held several slots, while Telegram Messenger also drew strong numbers. Temu and TikTok were evenly matched, both attracting around 7 million new iPhone users.
On Android, Instagram and TikTok remained close, with 31 million and 30 million downloads, respectively. Facebook, WhatsApp, and Snapchat all stayed strong. Meanwhile, apps for small business and messaging, like WhatsApp Business and Telegram, continued drawing consistent interest.
General Trends and Takeaways
Overall, the top ten most downloaded apps reached about 290 million devices in June. That’s slightly fewer than May, with an 8 percent dip across the board. Summer tends to slow things down for many platforms, but not all. ChatGPT was the outlier, managing to grow while others held steady or dipped slightly.
Entertainment apps kept their hold on user wallets, but AI-powered tools are now elbowing their way into the top spots. TikTok may still lead by a wide margin, but ChatGPT’s performance across both earnings and downloads shows that users are just as ready to pay for productivity and innovation as they are for content and connections.
Whether that trend holds into July is anyone’s guess, but for now, the balance between streaming, dating, storage, and AI has never been more competitive.
