No. I will just buy iPhones for my parents and start using iMessage. I simply cannot wait to see WeChat got banned in Europe. Disclaimer: a Chinese living in Germany.

It's very difficult to say something like this and has an effect: "Mom and Dad, there's much cooler and securer chat app out there, let's try it out." They will just say WeChat is good enough and they don't care about privacy because they don't anything to hide.
But it'd be much easier to ask them like this: "Mom and Dad, those asshole Americans and Europeans and Australians banned WeChat and I can't reach out to you anymore, can we please switch to that much cooler and securer chat app?" This will likely work.
But to friends I am not so nice. I force them to communicate with me either through iMessage or email (or Telegram, but it's banned in China). Some friends switch to iPhone and we still keep in touch (but probably not solely because of me), and others didn't and we lose touch ever since. It's just a choice we all have to make at some point.
