I read about WhatsApp and how people can’t part with Meta because of it, however no one on my continent uses it. Why is it so popular in the EU and other parts of the world?

Yes, there was the issue of SMS cost and data limits, but also remember iPhones are considerably less ubiquitous outside the US.
Where iMessage and Facetime features are lacking in SMS, terrible in MMS, third party cross-platform apps were required and WhatsApp happened to become most popular. Now at least we have RCS, but it’s a bit late to the party and poorly implemented.
