Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I've learned from this post... Most people in Croatia use Viber!

Here in NL it's pretty much 100% Whatsapp, from family, friends and colleagues.

Same in germany. Some people that care a little about security might use Telegram, Signal and/or Threema, but most still use WhatsApp parallel for family and stuff

I would say Telegram is less secure than Whatsapp because the messages are not end to end encrypted, when I last checked.
