Some people prefer Viber for their instant messaging needs. Those pondering leaving Viber might be wondering if they can deactivate their account and delete their data. In a word, yes. In this tutorial, we’ll tell you everything about deleting a Viber account, guide you through the account deactivation process, and inform you about what happens to your data after the account is killed.
Keep in mind that simply removing the Viber app from your device is not the same as deactivating your account. But if you do delete the Viber app, the following will happen:
To instantly deactivate your Viber account, follow the steps outlined further below.
Deactivation of a Viber account can only take place within the application itself. If you have already uninstalled Viber and would like to deactivate your account, you will need to re-install Viber in order to do so.
Ensure that you have the latest version of Viber for iOS or Viber for Mac prior to deactivating your account.
This is what happens after you deactivate a Viber account on your device:
Important: Once your account is deactivated from your iPhone, there is no way to restore any of your user data even if you reactivate your account (which means re-creating a Viber account with the same phone number). Viber does not store any of your message histories and is unable to retrieve lost data. Re-registering to Viber with the same mobile phone number will not restore the previous account history on iPhone.
However, if you back up your Viber chats to Google Drive from your Android phone, you’ll be able to restore the chats after reactivating your account. The Viber support page tells you about this.
Having said that, here’s how to back up your Viber chats (in case you don’t plan on deactivating or, if someday in the future, Viber supports restoring chats on iOS).
Follow the steps outlined below in order to create a full backup of your chat history prior to deleting your Viber account:
You can now delete the Viber app from this device.
This will remove all of your data and deactivate Viber from your desktop only.
You can now drag the Viber app from your Mac’s Applications folder into the Trash. Viber will remain active on your primary device (your iPhone), so you’ll need to deactivate the app there, too (steps already explained above).
This will reinstate the previous account on your new device. Your message and call history will not be restored.Recommended tutorials:

Question:
I uninstalled the app.
Will that delete my account?
Answer:
No. Deleting the Viber app is not the same as deactivating your Viber account. If you just delete the Viber app you are just removing the app from that particular device. The good news is that Viber will eventually remove your information due to inactivity (so removing the app can prove successful in the long run). Your address book will get removed from the servers after 45 days and your phone number, which is your Viber account number, will be decoupled from the service after one year of inactivity.
Question:
After I delete my account can I sign up for Viber again with the same phone number?
Answer:
Yes. If you wish to use Viber again you can do so with the same phone number as before, or with a different number. All you have to do is re-download it for free from the app store and sign up again.
Question:
If I pay for Viber via Itunes or Google play. What happens to my subscription?
Answer:
You must cancel the Viber subscription plan from the store that you purchased it (credit card, app store, other vendor).
Deleting the app does not automatically cancel your subscription.
Question:
If I deactivate my Viber account can I ever restore my data?
Answer:
Deactivation for Viber is the same as deletion. Once your account is deactivated, there is no way to restore any of your user data. Viber does not store any of your message history and is unable to retrieve lost data.
