Google's Gemini app surpassed 1 billion monthly active users on August 11, 2026, making it the fastest-growing product in the company's history, according to the Google Blog.
TechCrunch noted that OpenAI's ChatGPT reached the same threshold in June 2026, and that Gemini's growth has kept pace with that rival milestone. Ars Technica reported that questions have been raised about whether Gemini's user growth will continue given a slowdown in new model releases.
