In Brazil, it is useful to contact people that you know in real life, family and friends...

Plus, it sorta works like a Craigslist here. People sell and buy things from Facebook everyday, and people advertise their business and services here (e.g: restaurants, plumbing services, gift stores, etc)

I'll be that sort of person to say that the change starts when you also start. When messengers weren't a thing here, I started moving people I talk with to a messenger of my choice. Slowly after some time all the people I know were using it without giving any thought because turns out they just use whatever works. Several months go by and I safely use nothing but that messenger of my choice. Whenever a person asks if I use Facebook/Whatsapp, I just say "I don't have it, do you have (that messenger of my choice) or do you prefer SMS?" - and it kind of works for me.
