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.
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.
