Maybe it is interchangeable sometimes, but English people would rather point at the UK, while Anglo-Saxons often abusively refers to UK plus majorly white former British colonies, USA, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand.
Maybe. There’s also “The Commonwealth” which includes them but which the USA explicitly opted out from (by gaining independence from the British Empire before it was cool).
It’s still how we call this group from France.
Do you use it differently to “English”?

Wouldn’t the Anglosphere include every English speaking countries like South Africa, India and others?
