      WhatsApp and Messenger are the #1 and #3 most used messaging apps in the world. (#2 is WeChat)

      In Australia where I’m from, Messenger is the most popular by far.

      Students, especially in the Philippines and some 3rd world countries. You can basically use Messenger and Facebook without data, just without images or video. For the sake of accessibility schools tend to use these services.
