"Move over ChatGPT, there's a new top app in town. Apple's latest US charts for iPhone apps show Google Gemini as the most downloaded free app, shifting ChatGPT to second place and social media app Threads in the third spot. Gemini is also tops among free iPad apps in the US , with Netflix in second place and ChatGPT in third. Reaching the No. 1 spot is a sign of intermittent progress for Gemini's iOS app, which launched in November 2024."
"Google can probably thank its Nano Banana AI image editor, which has been generating a lot of buzz. With this new model built directly into the Gemini app, you can edit images using natural language prompts. Nano Banana also offers a few other cool skills. You can upload a photo of a person or pet, and the subject's appearance will remain the same even as you put them into different scenarios."
