WhatsApp dominates most of the world. Yes in Asia there are a few heavily used apps. Line. WeChat etc.

Even still most in Asia also use WhatsApp.

It's the one I've spent the least time at. Ok, that one I didn't live on, but I did visit.

I didn't use WhatsApp there. I had to SMS / tweet with my satellite device.
