Is it more common to use "on" to say "we" than "nous"?
- Country or region France
Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Country or region France
"nous" is more formal than "on". "on" is more used with friends and family, and "nous" is more for a professional way and to be more formal. But that's pretty the same, you can use both, everybody will understand you.

@sophiemay270 "on" is only used for oral speech while "nous" will be mostly used in written texts
