China, no. Wechat. Japan, no. Line. S. Korea, no - Kakaotalk. South East Asia: Whatsapp, yes.

It is interesting.

SEA is a bit more diverse than just Whatsapp.

Vietnam: Facebook Messenger, Zalo (home grown IM), Viber.

Yep, definitely. I just know when I moved there one of the first things I was told was "install Line" and I got to smile and say "I've had line for years." (because I collect social apps for fun)

Except for Hong Kong, where most people have Whatsapp + at least one of Telegram, Signal, Line, Wechat.
