Details
Analysis of major AI app download metrics for June 2026 shows that Meta AI recorded 21.1 million downloads, up 40% month-over-month, driven by the introduction of 'AI Mode' within the Facebook search bar. The feature, which summarizes various Facebook content (Groups, Reels, etc.), formed a clean funnel leading to standalone app installs.
Google NotebookLM was redefined as an 'AI research agent' through its transition to the Gemini 3.5 model and support for various file formats (PDF, XLSX, PPTX, etc.), resulting in a 30% increase in downloads. In particular, expanded conversation memory capacity and the addition of a quiz feature contributed to user retention.
Adobe Express introduced an image re-imagining feature through its AI assistant beta, and downloads surged 67% thanks to a policy that doesn't consume free quota when editing existing photos. This aligns with Adobe's strategy of prioritizing user base expansion.
ByteDance's AI learning tool Gauth also showed strong growth, with downloads up 52% during final exam season.
