For a brief period Facebook was the biggest XMPP server, it was fun using OTR[1] on Facebook messenger. I think Whatsapp is still using XMPP under the hood but the server is closed.

I remember they eventually added a feature to pretty-print OTR’d messages as something like <OTR encrypted message>.

When I saw that I figured they were aware and would soon start blocking it.

OMEMO appears to be superior to OTR last time I looked.

Google Hangouts used to use xmpp too.

The bigger they get, the less they want to interoperate.
