Does android just have a huge market share ? Off the top of my head I think I have three people with ‘green bubbles’ in iMessage and I don’t use WhatsApp at all. Canadian for what it’s worth.

European region overall is about 65/35 in favor of android, but 35 is still a significant userbase.

Yes, nearly 71% globally.

Apple is the biggest really only in North America.

Yeh apple is massive in the UK but because WhatsApp came before the apple domination every started using WA. Now, everyone just uses WA. In the IT field WA is a godsend when 99% of users have it.

I personally hate the UI / UX but to each their own I guess.
