I’m in non-Chinese Asia and it’s Line.

In Europe it’s mostly WhatsApp but a surprisingly large number of people use Facebook Messenger. And often both.

Also in Europe Netherlands its mostly whatsapp and sometimes facebook messenger when going out and adding people. But the talk usually transitions to whatsapp after exchanging phone numbers.

But i prefer telegram more it actually feels like a modern chat application whatsapp feels like a early 2010 app.

Funnily, in my country there's a generation split -- people <40yo use Messenger and >40yo use WhatsApp. Which is funny for several reasons -- Facebook is mostly used by older people nowadays (younger left for Instagram), but the Facebook's Messenger app is the exact opposite. And WhatsApp was never popular in the younger generation, which makes me wonder how the boomers figured out how to use it.

(But the bottom line is, as you can see, that Meta is dominating the market.)
