It's definitely a country and region specific thing. Where I come from Telegram reigns supreme amongst young people. It's practically the default at universities. Custom stickers, polls, really useful bots - make it perfect for group settings and collaboration. It even scales really nicely from small groups for conversation to large groups for polls and dissemination of info. No numbers needed means it's a no-brainer using Telegram for group communication where you may not want everyone in the group to know your number. Some university modules have large Telegram groups for everyone reading the course.
