Meta's Muse beat ChatGPT's own mobile launch curve on iOS in the US and Canada

Appfigures estimates Muse hit 1 million downloads in its first 12 days, with 359,000 US iOS daily active users against ChatGPT's 231,000 over the equivalent window, and 1.8 million iOS downloads in the US and Canada versus ChatGPT's 1.3 million. Apptopia separately counts 2.8 million total installs globally and 642,000 US DAU across platforms. Appfigures isolated iOS deliberately because ChatGPT launched iOS-only while Muse shipped both stores. Read alongside Amazon's block and this week's 0-day, the adoption number is what makes both of those consequential rather than curiosities.
