#1 App in the World? Not TikTok

ChatGPT Becomes the Most Downloaded Non-Gaming App Worldwide in March 2025

In March 2025, ChatGPT reached a major milestone, becoming the #1 non-gaming app in the world for the first time. It overtook major players like Instagram and TikTok, driven by the viral success of its Studio Ghibli-style image generation feature.

• ChatGPT had 46 million new installs in March, 13M on iOS and 33M on Android

• It surpassed TikTok (now ranked 6th) and pushed Instagram out of the top 10

• Key features included GPT-4o image generation, improved AI voice, and fewer content limits

This shows how fast AI tools are moving into mainstream use. The combo of creative features, strong brand recognition, and real user demand pushed ChatGPT ahead of entertainment giants. It also signals a shift in user behavior, people are now searching for “ChatGPT” directly instead of “AI,” showing how strong the brand has become.

Google Just Killed Coding

Google just launched Firebase Studio, a new cloud-based AI IDE that lets you build apps using text or image prompts, no coding skills needed.

• It's part of the new trend called “Vibe Coding”, where you describe your idea, and AI handles the code.

• Supports popular languages and frameworks like Java, Angular, Vue.js, Python Flask, Android, and more.

• You can try it now, but you’ll need a Gemini API key from Google.

Building apps is getting easier than ever. Tools like Firebase Studio can turn anyone with an idea into a creator, no coding required. This could change how startups, developers, and even non-tech people build their next big thing.

How to Create Your Own Action Figure Photo with ChatGPT

This trend is super fun and easy. Here’s exactly what to do:

1. Take a clear photo of yourself
   (best if full-body, standing, friendly smile)

2. Start a chat with ChatGPT, Upload your photo

3. Copy-paste this text and fill in your details:
   Use this photo of me to create an action figure of myself in a blister pack, in the style like a premium collectible toy. The figure should be standing up and have a relaxed, friendly smile. The blister pack should have a header with the text ‘[ACTION FIGURE NAME]’ in large letters and a subheading of ‘[SUBHEADING]’ below it. Include accessories in compartments to the side of the figure: [LIST OF ACCESSORIES like laptop, coffee, phone, book, etc].
