ChatGPT Images 2.0 is a hit in India, but not a big winner elsewhere, yet

India has become the largest user base for ChatGPT Images 2.0 since its launch, with users primarily creating personal visuals like avatars and stylized portraits for self-expression. However, global adoption has been more modest, with ChatGPT's app downloads rising 11% week-over-week and daily active users increasing only about 1%, though some emerging markets like Pakistan, Vietnam, and Indonesia saw sharper spikes of up to 79% in downloads. India accounted for approximately 5 million downloads during the launch week compared to 2 million in the U.S., though overall engagement growth in the country remained measured at around 3.4% week-over-week.
