I don't know anyone who uses Telegram. Everyone I talk to uses SMS/iMessage, or maybe Discord (but that's a pain in the butt for individuals).

I recently signed up to an online course at Helsinki Open University, there is an online message-board for students (empty) and a Telegram group for the users of the course which has 350+ members.

This is the only real time I've used telegram. Mostly people that I know here in Helsinki, Finland, use WhatsApp (friends, neighborhood kids-group, etc), or facebook messenger (pottery teacher, local companies).
