Gemini overtakes ChatGPT on App Store, as its Nano Banana AI model drives downloads up 45%


Though the month is only half over, Gemini's app has already gained 12.6 million downloads in September, up from 8.7 million in August.

Google has been touting Gemini’s growth, as more mainstream users have been trying out the new image editing features. For instance, Google Gemini and Google Labs VP Josh Woodward shared on X on September 8 that the app had gained 23 million first-time users since the Nano Banana model launched, and those users had shared over 500 million images.
