In Taiwan, nobody uses iMessage. It's an app called Line and it's basically the WeChat of Taiwan.
So we can basically hop from Apple to Android without issues with our messages. So that's why the % of Apple users are not inflated because of the dark patterns they are doing in the US.
In Europe everyone uses WhatsApp and I‘d rather use iMessage than sell my soul to meta… (Which I am. And Signal and Telegram. Only using WhatsApp for work)
I live in Poland, and most people use Meta's Messenger here, although some people use WhatsApp and some also Telegram (but mostly Ukrainians and Belarusians).
Personally I use regular old plain SMS, Messenger, Telegram or Discord depending on situation.
Ah yes, Facebook Messenger. The only chat app I'd hate using even more than WhatsApp...
