When WhatsApp announced an update to its privacy terms earlier this month, many among its 2 billion users worldwide raced to download rival apps Signal and Telegram, including those in Asia’s second- and third-largest countries, India and Indonesia .
But analysts say abandoning the messaging app will be harder for the 450 million users in India, who form WhatsApp’s largest base worldwide, and the 140 million in Indonesia, where the app has surged in popularity in recent years.
