Microsoft Bing just crossed 100 million daily active users for the first time EVER, thanks to Bing Chat AI
$Microsoft(MSFT.US$ has announced that its Bing search engine has crossed 100 million daily active users for the first time in its history, just a few weeks after the launch of Bing Chat. Additionally, Microsoft says 1/3 of users who are part of the Bing Chat preview are using it daily, and that 45 million chats have been conducted since launch.
The daily active user statistic is a big deal as the company says it's the first time it's been able to measure that 100 million number, after several years of "steady progress." In fact, Microsoft says that it's fully aware of how small this number is in comparison to $Alphabet-A(GOOGL.US$ , but that it's happy with the growth it's seen over the last handful of weeks.

In addition to this these statistics, Microsoft says Bing usage on mobile has grown too, thanks to the launch of its new Bing app which has led to a 6x increase in daily active users.
Microsoft is confident that it will continue to see growth with Bing and Edge over the next several months as it continues to add and enhance AI features. "We see this appeal of the new Bing as a validation of our view that search is due for a reinvention and of the unique value proposition of combining Search + Answers + Chat + Creation in one experience." said Mehdi.

According to Statcounter GlobalStats’s Search Engine Market Share Worldwide (January 2023), Google had a 92.9% share, Bing accounted for 3.03% and Yahoo!1.22%.
