You can change your number

I mean, I guess I do? I'm legitimately unsure if I'm in some weird bubble where no one uses WhatsApp or you're in a bubble of unusually high usage. But it's been a small enough part of my life that I'm not even fully sure what the connection is. It uses your contact list as well?

In today's individualized, algorithmic online world, it's safer to assume you're in a weird bubble until proven otherwise. My Twitter/Facebook/whatever feed is totally different than yours. Everyone still has a Facebook account (though; noticeable dip in Q1) and Snapchat is still wildly popular.

I assume you're in the US? As I understand it, it's less popular there.

I'd say at least 95% of smart phone users in the UK use WhatsApp. I think that's probably true of the rest of Europe as well.
