ChatGPT’s mobile app hits new milestone of $3B in consumer spending

ChatGPT’s mobile app has surpassed $3 billion in total consumer spending since its launch in May 2023, with the vast majority of that revenue coming in 2025 alone. According to Appfigures, users spent around $2.48 billion this year, a 408% year-on-year increase from 2024, highlighting just how quickly paid AI adoption has accelerated.

ChatGPT reached this milestone in 31 months, far faster than apps like TikTok, Disney+, or HBO Max, signalling a rare level of consumer willingness to pay for AI tools. Revenue is largely driven by subscriptions such as ChatGPT Plus and Pro, with OpenAI also opening new monetisation paths through a recently launched in-app marketplace and potential future advertising, while rivals like Grok show similar early revenue momentum and companies like Google and Anthropic continue pushing AI-led business models across consumer and enterprise markets.

Here are 5 reasons why it matters:

  • WhatsApp is critical infrastructure in India: For many Indians, WhatsApp is not just a chat app. It’s how families communicate, businesses sell, and payments and support happen daily. Disrupting it has real economic and social consequences.

  • Small businesses are hit the hardest: Millions of merchants rely on WhatsApp Business using web or desktop while the SIM stays in a phone. Forced logouts every six hours can break sales, support, and customer response times overnight.

  • This changes how messaging apps are regulated: India is effectively treating messaging apps like telecom services rather than software platforms. That’s a major policy shift and could influence how other countries regulate encrypted apps.

  • It challenges multi-device and remote work norms: WhatsApp has been investing heavily in multi-device access. These rules push things backwards, making cross-device work harder at a time when flexibility is expected.

  • It sets a global precedent for privacy vs fraud control: The case highlights a growing global tension. Governments want traceability to fight scams, while users and platforms want privacy, encryption, and usability. How this plays out in India will be closely watched everywhere.

OpenAI allows users to directly adjust ChatGPT’s enthusiasm level

OpenAI has added new personalisation controls that let users directly adjust ChatGPT’s warmth, enthusiasm, emoji use, and formatting style, allowing each setting to be set to More, Less, or Default via the Personalisation menu. This builds on earlier tone options like Professional, Candid, and Quirky, introduced in November, and follows a year of mixed feedback about ChatGPT’s personality, including one update rolled back for being overly agreeable and later tweaks to make GPT-5 feel friendlier. While the changes give users more control over how the chatbot communicates, some researchers and critics continue to warn that overly affirming or enthusiastic AI responses can encourage dependency and may have negative mental health effects, an issue OpenAI has been navigating as it refines the product.

Step 2. Upload Your Image

Step 3. Paste this Prompt and make it yours 

“Use the uploaded reference photo as the main subject. Match the face one-to-one with the reference image. Do not stylise, beautify, or alter facial features in any way. Preserve exact identity, skin tone, and proportions.

Create a festive Christmas scene where the person is emerging out of a smartphone screen. The phone is held vertically, and the screen clearly shows the Facebook app interface as the background, recognisable but subtle.

The person’s head, shoulders, and upper torso are coming out of the phone screen toward the viewer. One normal human arm and hand extend out of the screen, raised in a friendly wave, palm facing forward, as if saying hi.

Outfit:

A stylish Christmas outfit that looks modern and wearable, not a costume. For example:

Red knit Christmas jumper with subtle festive patterns

White or cream inner shirt visible at the collar

Dark trousers or jeans

Optional small festive details like a gold watch, clean sneakers, or leather boots

No Santa suits, no novelty props.

Expression:

Warm, confident smile. Friendly and natural.

Environment:

Warm Christmas ambience with soft golden fairy lights, gentle falling snow, and subtle festive props around the phone such as pine branches, ornaments, or wrapped gifts.

Lighting and style:

Ultra-realistic, cinematic lighting. Strong depth where the body exits the screen. Natural skin texture, realistic shadows, accurate reflections on the phone glass. High-resolution, social-media-ready image.

Mood:

Festive, polished, and scroll-stopping. Feels like popping out of Facebook to say Merry Christmas 🎄📱
