I'm in the UK and I'd never heard of WhatsApp until now. I wonder if a lot of these people who say 'X app is big in my country' actually just mean 'X app is popular within my social circle'.
- timje1 13y agoI'm in London, and most people between 20 and 30 that I know of uses WhatsApp. Possibly it hasn't filtered to the rest of the country.
- weavie 13y agoDevon here.. that probably explains it.
- slight 13y agoWhatsApp has about 50% of the mobile messaging market in the UK, so no, it's just you ;)

Yes, that is exactly what it means unless there's some research data provided. Obviously it is easier to scale our current surroundings to the whole country, than to really go around and see how things are outside our social circle. Then again, same applies to you too, just because you haven't heard of WhatsApp before doesn't mean it wouldnt be big in the UK. :)
