Telegram may be getting momentum, but it’s nothing near the usage of WhatsApp over here. Signal nobody knows anything about, there’s nobody on there.

I think this is very local. Here in Sweden I have only ever met one person who used Whatsapp. I feel most people use Facebook messenger with some use of Skype, Google Hangouts, Telegram, Signal and Slack.
In at least France, Romania, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, WhatsApp is very popular.
By popular I mean "small businesses start advertising contacting them through WhatsApp"-popular.
It would be nice to have a breakdown of these numbers but we'll probably never get them from FB.
