Google Gemini has become the most popular iPhone app in the UK and the US for the first time, surpassing ChatGPT and Meta Threads. The secret to its success lies in the new tool. The Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, better known as the Nano Banana, has been taking the internet by storm since late August. In just two weeks, users have created more than 500 million images, an impressive record.
As a result, Gemini has topped Apple’s free app list in the US, overtaking ChatGPT, and in the UK, it has surpassed both ChatGPT and shopping giant Temu.
