Here in Germany in my circle (which has people from mid-twenties to 60+, from the North to the center), most people use Signal, with Telegram being a rare outlier. WhatsApp is what everyone uses, though.
Here in Australia Signal tends to be used by the left leaning (because of Snowden’s endorsement) and Telegram by the right leaning (they hate Snowden).
I’m Australian but living in the USA now, and practically everyone I chat to uses Facebook Messenger after switching from MSN Messenger when it shut down. I’ve got Signal and Telegram installed but barely anyone I know uses them.

Also there are a lot of large chat groups on Telegram - not so many groups on Signal from what I noticed.
I don’t understand why people would share their phone number with strangers like that.
