1% if the population is a lot of people, and encryption is becoming more and more important to "normal" people, otherwise WhatsApp etc. wouldn't be making such a big deal about it as a feature.

If you're using WhatsApp only because you need to pay for SMS or all your friends who have to pay for SMS use it, is privacy such a big deal to you?

The only reason I ever had it installed was because I became friends with people from other countries that had to pay for SMS when we didn't, they would have otherwise used SMS because it's a no brainer to just use the tech that doesn't require data and that's available by default.
