Same up here in Malaysia. In fact, it's starting to look like the only places that isn't dominated by WhatsApp are America and China.

You forgot china/Skorea/Japan, all big markets.

WeChat - china

S Korea - kakaotalk 90% market share

LINE - Japan 50 million users with 300 million worldwide

And all three have significant revenue in double digit US millions a year, unlike WhatsApp which has no real revenue...

Whatsapp has revenue in the double digit US millions per year. Their profit might even be in that range.
