According to PANews, Elon Musk announced on the X platform that the X app has achieved the number one ranking in the news category on the App Store. It has become the highest-ranked news application in both the free and 'grossing' categories in the United States. The X app also holds the top position in the news category in several countries and regions worldwide.

The 'grossing' category refers to the total revenue ranking of applications. This ranking is based on the total revenue generated through in-app purchases and paid downloads, excluding advertising revenue. An application can rank high in the 'grossing' category even with fewer downloads if its revenue is substantial.
