WhatsApp: Why Americans Don't Use It | The Deets

I think traveling encourages people to use WhatsApp or other messengers instead of texting. Texting requires a phone number but you don't have to download any app to use it.

Literally. When I travel to Europe, everyone either had WhatsApp it Facebook Messenger, or occasionally just Instagram DMs as a last resort. Because WhatsApp works with both WiFi and cellular, unlike international roaming or whatever (which again costs an arm, a foot, and a kidney) it's seamless conversing with people regardless of the country. Then again, if someone has an iPhone then the default is to use iMessage, which I guess most Americans have done
