Meta’s New Muse AI Agent App Overtakes ChatGPT as Top iPhone App
Zac Hall, writing for 9to5 Mac on Friday: Meta’s new Muse AI agent app has taken the top spot on the free iPhone charts for the U.S. App Store, displacing OpenAI’s ChatGPT from the first place. Muse by Meta only launched this month , although the app has been around for a couple of weeks. This means new installs are picking up and boosting the app on the App Store’s top charts beyond the day-one…
A new AI-powered app from Meta called Muse has surged to the top of free iPhone apps in the U.S. App Store, dethroning OpenAI's ChatGPT from its long-standing position at the top. Muse only officially launched this month, but its rapid rise in popularity indicates strong initial user adoption. Just yesterday, Meta announced the app's expansion to Mac users, though the desktop version doesn't affect the App Store rankings as it's web-based only.
Despite the desktop app not contributing, Muse has maintained its #1 spot in the U.S. iOS App Store for four days. Here are the top 15 apps in the current rankings (with full app names and my notes in brackets): Meta's Muse leads, ChatGPT follows, apps like Vinted, StoryReel, Google Gemini, Polymarket, PineDrama, TikTok Pro, Depop, CapCut, Kalshi, Claude by Anthropic, and Google The White House all trail behind.
While it's likely Muse won't maintain the top spot indefinitely and ChatGPT's dominance is remarkable, Muse's strong start is noteworthy.
