Finland. Wa is rare in business use of any sort. My employer bans it for anything work related as do many others. I’ve seen maybe one hands fingers worth of businesses with a wa front.
Various associations and clubs do use it for group chats, though.
Also, absolutely not. And you should never trust anyone who says anything like “in Europe” or “Europeans”. It’s a continent of dozens of countries and cultures many of which have been in war on and off for centuries. There is absolutely nothing that is uniform across all of Europe.
That’s crazy, I can’t tell you a single person under 80 years old that don’t use it here (Southern Europe), even the most technology agnostic farmer dad knows it, and use it. I thought that was the case in all of Europe too.
I’m in the UK, whatsapp is ubiquitous and unavoidable as hard as I try. I made a big effort to get people onto Signal but got limited traction and once they killed the sms support those I’d converted ditched it. Viber is dead, no one uses it or threema.
Gonna imagine most of the responses will be from North America where WhatsApp use is significantly less.
Being based in Euopre, I’d say probably no; everybody uses WhatsApp. We used it a lot before Facebook bought it as well.

What about Viber?
Nope. Never heard of it.
@pileghoff @monobot @privacy I’ve only heard of it being referred to as “chat for drug dealers.”
