Toronto | June 15, 2025:
In a significant development in the world of digital media and information platforms, ๐ (formerly known as Twitter) has emerged as the top-ranking news application on Canadaโs Apple App Store. The app now holds the #1 position in both the Free and Top Grossing categoriesโan achievement rarely seen in the crowded digital news landscape.
This rise comes at a time of heightened global news consumption, particularly due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, the upcoming G7 Summit in Canada, and increasing interest in real-time updates from geopolitical hotspots. Analysts believe that the platformโs real-time nature, combined with its recent pivot toward long-form content, live audio spaces, and video streaming, has helped attract both casual readers and serious news seekers.
According to digital analytics platforms, ๐ has seen a sharp uptick in daily active users in North America over the past two weeks, with Canadian users contributing significantly to the rise. Experts say the appโs visibility was boosted by live coverage of breaking events such as the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Iran-Israel hostilities, and economic developments affecting oil prices and inflation.
One of the standout reasons for the appโs surge in the Top Grossing list is attributed to its premium subscription services, which offer users verification badges, higher visibility for posts, and revenue-sharing options. Many content creators and independent journalists have flocked to the platform, using it as both a publishing tool and income source.
The platform’s owner, Elon Musk, has continued to make major changes to how the app operatesโpushing for more transparency in algorithm design, promoting uncensored news flow, and enabling monetization for users. His strategy, though controversial at times, appears to be paying off in certain markets.
Despite concerns regarding misinformation and content moderation, the current surge shows that a significant portion of users still trusts ๐ for first-hand, unfiltered news. Whether this momentum can be sustained remains to be seen, especially as competition from emerging decentralized news apps grows.
For now, however, ๐ has established itself as the go-to news source in Canada, both for consumers of free content and those willing to pay for premium news features.
