  2. For some reason iOS Files app has associated image/vid viewing with a series of 3rd party apps. I delete the default app, and it drops to the next.

    How can I restore default behavior - to use iOS default "Open With" viewers? I've been trying approaches suggested in searching to no avail. What is the default "app" choice supposed to be, anyway?

    Ivan Bliznyuk explores how these approaches can be adapted to Swift/SwiftUI to build maintainable, scalable iOS apps.

  10. Most Popular Apps and Games of 2025: What Everyone Downloaded This Year

    The people have spoken — or at least, they’ve downloaded these apps a lot. At the end of 2025, Apple revealed its annual App Store Awards, spotlighting the best apps and games as chosen by App Store editors. But editor picks are only half the story. The real pulse of the year comes from people’s choice data: the most downloaded apps and games on iPhone and iPad in the United States.

    Apple recently released its official download rankings for 2025, giving us a fascinating look at how Americans actually used their devices over the past year.


    A Few Caveats to Keep in Mind

    Before diving into the lists, it’s important to understand what these rankings do — and don’t — tell us:

    Apple does not disclose exact download numbers We don’t know how close the competition was between rankings Downloads don’t necessarily equal long-term usage or satisfaction

    Some apps may have surged due to hype, while others became daily essentials. Still, the results offer a compelling snapshot of digital life in 2025.


    Big Takeaways From 2025 App Downloads

    ChatGPT Dominates
    Unsurprisingly, ChatGPT was the most downloaded free iPhone app in the U.S. for 2025 and ranked second on iPad. Its rise reflects how AI has become a mainstream productivity and creativity tool — not just a novelty.

    Threads Stays Strong
    One of the biggest surprises? Threads finished #2 on iPhone. Launched by Meta in 2023, Threads became the fastest-growing app in history at launch. Two years later, it’s still pulling massive download numbers — even though it requires an Instagram account to use.

    Notably:
    Instagram ranked #6 on iPhone X (formerly Twitter) did not crack the top 10 TikTok remained a top contender at #4

    iPad = Streaming Central
    On iPad, entertainment ruled. Four of the top five free iPad apps were streaming platforms, underscoring the iPad’s role as a couch-friendly media device.

    AI is now mainstream, not niche Social media remains powerful, even as platforms shift Streaming dominates tablets Games with long-term replay value continue to win

    For the full, official charts, Apple recommends opening the App Store on your device, selecting the Apps or Games category, and scrolling to the rankings section.

    Whether you’re tracking tech trends or just curious what everyone else had on their phones this year, one thing is clear: 2025 was a defining year for AI, entertainment, and mobile gaming.
