WhatsApp is basically a given in Europe, they want to become like WeChat in China but for outside the Chinese firewall.

I know for example that in Norway you will encounter tons of people who have never even heard of WhatsApp. They just use iMessage as most people there have iPhones and I bet some people just think of it as an SMS (just happens to work much better).
That's not really true where I live nor where I'm from. So I will guess it's not a given everywhere in Europe.
