- Muse surpassed 83,000 U.S. iOS downloads, according to Sensor Tower, and reached No. 2 on the App Store’s Top Charts.
- Threads drew more than 4.3 million U.S. downloads on its launch day, while Meta AI recorded 108,000 U.S. downloads during its debut.
- ChatGPT surpassed 500,000 U.S. installs in under a week, averaging 83,300 downloads per day—a level Muse took twice as long to reach.
- Muse climbed from No. 4 on the U.S. App Store on Wednesday to No. 2 as of Thursday, according to the source.
- Muse ranked No. 338 in the Productivity category on Google Play, although Android download figures were unavailable.
- Muse requires users to provide more personal information and arrived days after Meta agreed to an $18 billion multistate settlement over social media harms.
- Instinct, recently valued at $2.5 billion, has $350 million at its disposal and added Stripe, 1Password and location-sharing integrations while expanding agent-to-agent social coordination.
Why it matters: For Meta, Muse’s 83,000-plus U.S. iOS downloads and No. 2 App Store position provide early consumer traction, but its No. 338 Google Play ranking contrasts sharply with the iOS result, and Sensor Tower’s estimate excludes web and WhatsApp use, showing the launch is not yet a platform-wide success.
