GenAI apps double revenue to $1.87 billion, hit 1.7b downloads in 2025

Generative AI apps have experienced remarkable growth in the first half of 2025, with downloads reaching 1.7 billion and in-app revenue doubling to $1.87 billion. According to a Sensor Tower report this compares to 1 billion downloads and $932 million in revenue in the second half of 2024. Users spent 15.6 billion hours on these apps across 426 billion sessions in H1 2025, up from 8.5 billion hours in H2 2024. Asia led download growth with a 42.6% market share, driven by markets like India and China, achieving an 80% increase compared to 51% in Europe and 39% in North America. Latin America saw the highest growth in in-app purchases, though North America retained a 40% revenue share. ChatGPT dominated in-app revenue globally, except in China, where DeepSeek led downloads shortly after its launch. Users engaged with ChatGPT for an average of 12.1 days per month, matching the usage frequency of platforms like X and Reddit, with only Google surpassing it. The report noted increased weekend usage, suggesting reliance beyond work-related tasks. 'ChatGPT's usage patterns are increasingly similar to Google's, serving as a primary tool for consumers both during and outside work hours,' the report stated. In H1 2025, ChatGPT averaged 16 minutes of daily usage, nearing the 18.2 minutes for top search engines and browsers. Over a third of Q2 2025 prompts were lifestyle and entertainment-related, spanning health, shopping, finance, and meal planning. More than 15% of US ChatGPT users access it across web and mobile, outpacing platforms like Temu and Threads but trailing Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Other popular apps included Character AI, PolyBuzz, DeepSeek, and Perplexity. The term 'AI' appeared over 100,000 times in app store descriptions, with AI-related apps downloaded 7.5 billion times in H1 2025, comprising 10% of total downloads. Categories like AI assistants, content generation, photo editing, and education saw increased AI branding, though Sensor Tower noted that adding 'AI' to app names often yields only short-term download boosts.

No more YouTube for under-16s in Australia

Australia will use landmark social media laws to ban children under 16 from video-streaming site YouTube, a top minister said on Wednesday, stressing the need to shield them from "predatory algorithms". As per AFP, communications Minister Anika Wells said four-in-ten Australian children had reported viewing harmful content on YouTube, one of the most visited websites in the world. "We want kids to know who they are before platforms assume who they are," Wells said in a statement. "There's a place for social media, but there's not a place for predatory algorithms targeting children." Australia announced last year it was drafting laws that will ban children from social media sites such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram until they turn 16. The government had previously indicated YouTube would be exempt, given its widespread use in classrooms. "Young people under the age of 16 will not be able to have accounts on YouTube," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters on Wednesday. "They will also not be able to have accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X among other platforms. "We want Australian parents and families to know that we have got their back." Albanese said the age limit may not be implemented perfectly - much like existing restrictions on alcohol — but it was still the right thing to do. A spokesman for YouTube said Wednesday's announcement was a jarring U-turn from the government. "Our position remains clear: YouTube is a video sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens," the company said in a statement. "It's not social media." On paper, the ban is one of the strictest in the world. But the current legislation offers almost no details on how the rules will be enforced - prompting concern among experts that it will simply be a symbolic piece of unenforceable legislation. It is due to come into effect on December 10. Social media giants - which face fines of up to Aus$49.5 million (US$32 million) for failing to comply - have described the laws as "vague", "problematic" and "rushed". TikTok has accused the government of ignoring mental health, online safety and youth experts who had opposed the ban. Meta - owner of Facebook and Instagram - has warned that the ban could place "an onerous burden on parents and teens". The legislation has been closely monitored by other countries, with many weighing whether to implement similar bans.

Google to invest $6 billion in southern India data centre, sources say

SINGAPORE: Google will invest $6 billion to develop a 1-gigawatt data centre and its power infrastructure in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh in the Alphabet unit's first such investment in India, government sources said on Wednesday. Due to be built in the port city of Visakhapatnam, the data centre investment includes $2 billion in renewable energy capacity that will be used to power the facility, two Andhra Pradesh government sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The search giant's data centre will be the largest in capacity and investment size in Asia and is part a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its data centre portfolio across the region in countries including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Google expands creative AI tools in Pakistan with Veo 3, Flow In April, Alphabet said it was still committed to spending some $75 billion this year to build data centre capacity despite the economic uncertainty resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariff offensive. Alphabet did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. Andhra Pradesh's information technology minister Nara Lokesh, who is in Singapore to discuss investments with thegovernment and business leaders there, did not comment on the Google investment. 'We've made certain announcements like Sify, which are public,' he said, referring to a 550-MW data centre Sify Technologies plans to build in the state. 'There are certain announcements which are not yet public. In October, we will make those announcements.' State's post-split investment drive Andhra Pradesh, a state run by a leading ally of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was split into two in 2014, losing its former capital Hyderabad and a major revenue source to the newly created Telangana state. Andhra Pradesh has since been looking to attract investments to ease the financial strains of high debt and social spending. Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh has already been able to finalise investments in data centres with total capacity of 1.6 GW, adding that it aims to build 6 GW of data centres over the next five years from nearly zero currently. He expects the initial 1.6 GW of already agreed data centres to be operational in the next 24 months. That would be more than the 1.4 GW currently in operation in the entire country, according to real estate consultancy Anarock. 'We're also working on getting three cable landing stations in Visakhapatnam. We want to create enough of cable network, which will be two times what Mumbai has today,' Lokesh said. Cable landing stations - typically located close to data centres requiring fast and reliable connections to global networks - are used to store equipment which receives and relays data from undersea cables. Lokesh also said the state was looking to build up energy infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements of data centres. He said he anticipated power generation capacity requirements of as much as 10 GW from the electricity-intensive industry over the next five years. 'Majority will end up being actually green energy, and that's the unique value proposition that we bring to the table,' he said. Some of the additional capacity will be coal-fired, however, as data centres require reliable, high volume power throughout the day, he added.
