CapCut beats Instagram, ChatGPT to become most downloaded iPhone app in June 2023

The App Store on iPhone is such a crucial part of the iOS experience that it is unimaginable to think it wasn't available on the first iPhone! With just under 2 million apps under its belt, the App Store provides users with apps for any and all tasks. While the number does not quite match the nearly 3 million apps that are present on the Google Play Store, that is perhaps due to Apple's tighter app screening process, which only allows selective apps to be on its platform.

Despite the fact that millions of options are available, apps like Instagram, TikTok, and recently, ChatGPT, usually top the downloads charts every month. Now, the list of most downloaded apps for June 2023 has been released by AppFigures and it has a surprise. So, which app ranks at the top? Read on to find out.
