[Google Korea's Monthly Active Users Surpass Naver for the First Time, ChatGPT User Base Reaches 2.6 Times That of Daum] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on August 11, Yonhap News reported that data from the mobile index platform under AI technology company IGA Works showed that in July 2026, Google's app monthly active users (MAU) reached 47.02 million, surpassing Naver's 46.85 million for the first time, leading by approximately 178,000 users. This marks the first reversal since related statistics began in March 2021. Industry analysts believe that the widespread adoption of Google's AI model Gemini and the enhancement of AI search functions are the main drivers of user growth. Meanwhile, ChatGPT's monthly active users reached 16.46 million, approximately 2.6 times that of Daum (6.31 million), with the gap continuing to widen. In March last year, ChatGPT had only 5 million users, lagging behind Daum. After surpassing 10 million users in April last year, it began to overtake Daum and has continued to widen the gap ever since.
