    Pretty much every Brazilian uses whatsapp, the rest of south America also uses it but I can’t guarantee it being that close to 100% like Brasil, then you have places like the EU, Asia (not in China, they have WeChat iirc) and I’d be surprised if it isn’t advice 1 billion people. Whatsapp didn’t take over the USA because you guys had sms for free, while most of the world didn’t, and after you hit a certain critical mass of users, even those who don’t want to (me) have to use it for work, friends and family. Everyone lives in their own bubbles, and the US has SEVERAL bubbles completely different from the rest of the world
