Snap never picked up in emerging markets like India. Instagram still dominates here. And most of the people I know regularly use Instagram stories

Hell, Snap never even picked up in Europe, as a result of its strong bias against Android and heavy marketing focus on US colleges, cities and events.

I'm not familiar with this, and the most prevalent Snapchat users among my friends are Android users.

One of the items frequently mentioned themes around this quarters results is that Snap is finally making some progress overseas (emerging and everywhere else).

Tencent bought 12% of Snap in Nov of 2017. Likely that has, and will continue to push emerging market efforts by Snap.
