I never had whatsapp. I use signal since 2017/2018. back then i had 3 contacts. At some point there was a big movement away from whatsapp - i think because of their terms oft usw changed?. Sadly most oft my friends first moved to Telegramm cause it was more convenient than signal back then. But with covid and more information on Telegramm most of them shifted to signal. Some of it was my work but many oft them just changed by themself.
Even my large family group with grandmas, Cousins etc. is entirely on signal. All of my friends are. New colleagues are. But this was already before the current movement.
However, whatsapp is still the default in germany. Many of my friends and family have both, signal and whatsapp. And it depends a lot on your bubble. I was lucky with my bubble.
Here in germany signal is quite common nowadays.
