Fix the last update. It is broken!

UPDATE: I’ve been contacted by support, it seemed like they really care to fix the problem. With new update my Viber is working without any problems. I really hope that they will not have any problems like this in the future. So… because support contacted me within 24hours, because they tried and care to resolve problem I changed my review to 5 stars.

I’ve been using this app over 6 years. I was even recommending it to all my family and friends. It is awesome, fast, never any problems with audio or video calls until the latest update. Since I updated it to the newest version it went down the hill. App start kicking me out, then it finally stopped doing that but then it start freezing. It froze for few minutes and then crash. I can’t do anything. I can’t back it up, I can’t report a problem, I can’t contact support… Nothing! I even tried removing the app and downloading it again. Even that didn’t help. It is so frustrating! I saw in the comments that I am not the only one with this problem. I really hope you will fix this problem soon.

We've heard about this from other people as well. We're collecting information from people who are experiencing this issue and would be really glad to hear more about it from you. Could you provide some more detail? You can do that here: https://vb.me/store-en

Not possible to restore chat on secondary device (iPad)

I have been a loyal and frequent user of Viber for at least a decade now. Viber has been my app of choice over all other chat services, including phone text. Viber has been serving me great until recently. The most recent update has deleted my account from my secondary device (iPad). After several unsuccessful attempts to log back in and restore my chat history, I found an article on the Viber support pages which clearly states that it is no longer possible to restore 1-on-1 chats and group chat history on a secondary tablet device. Which is very strange, because chat history actually syncs perfectly on a secondary computer device. Why was this important functionality suddenly removed? What is the point of backing up chat history if I can’t sync with my secondary tablet devices? When I start a chat on the primary device, I am no longer able to pick it up on my secondary device. This makes the app on the secondary device useless, so unfortunately I had to change my previously solid 5-star rating to 3 stars. App developers - please fix this problem, and re-enable seamless chat history sync across all devices, as it works on the competitor apps. Otherwise the Viber app becomes completely pointless on the secondary devices. Thank you.

Hello Anika,
Thank you for reaching us, please share the details with our support team by opening a ticket mentioning Play Market and adding all relevant information to escalate the feedback and assist you: vb.me/store-en Thanks!

App crashes when doing chat history restore

I have been an avid user of the app for 7 years and it’s been great with the stickers and gifs that make messaging interesting. But I’ve had problems receiving and sending messages in the past month. I made sure I am using the latest version of the app and iOS software. So when that did the fix my problem, I opted to delete and reinstall the app since that seemed to fix the issue for some people.

However, when I tried to restore my chat history, the app would crash after 1% and revert to my phone’s home screen. When I try opening the app, the restore screen would pop up and again crash after 1%. Granted I have about 28gb of chat history, but I have enough phone and iCloud storage that it shouldn’t be an issue. I reached out to the Viber support team, but after the quick initial response with their “solutions” and me answering “No, tried it, still crashing on me,” I haven’t heard back from them which has now been 5 days.

I really hope that they are working on the issue and not just keeping me on a shelf of “to-work-on-later” issues. But until I receive a viable solution to the problem, the app will remain deleted for me since when (and if) the restore eventually chooses to work for me, I don’t want new messages to be erased.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to let us know. We're actively investigating this issue and collecting information from people who are experiencing it. Would you mind sharing more details? You can do so here: https://vb. me/store-en

Softonic review

Mireia Fernandez CristiaUpdated 2 months ago

Viber is a free chat application that goes above and beyond normal messaging software thanks to the surprising communication and safety features. The basic chatting activities include sending messages, making voice and video calls, while the more advanced systems include creating Viber stickers and GIFs.

Chat applications are becoming increasingly popular as the world continues to become more globalized. Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp are additional messaging apps that reap important security benefits, with Signal being the most secure of the bunch. All the tools use end-to-end encryption by default, aside from Telegram which makes you set the setting up yourself.

What is Viber and how does it work?

Viber is a cross-platform messaging app for computers, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. You can download Viber on Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Microsoft Windows PC operating systems. Contacts and chatting history can be completely connected between your various devices with your QR code.

Viber is only free when you talk to people that also use the app. In case you want to connect with people that do not use the program, Viber offers a service called Viber Out that you can pay for. Viber lets you send text messages with files, photos, and videos. You can send instant voice and video messages to your recipients or make actual calls instead. 

Viber is a popular place to gather with groups of friends in Viber Communities, which are group chats. The customization features are astounding since you can add administrators to moderate the conversations. Invite links are linked to group chats to let the community members add new people. New members instantly get updated with the chat history that came before.

Admins decide whether members are allowed to post content in the chats. In case messages become inappropriate, the admins can delete messages and ban inappropriate participants from the conversations to keep the space safe. Phone numbers are hidden for each member to maintain a high level of privacy for users. You can still tap on profile pictures to begin private messaging sessions with people.

Communities are allowed to have an unlimited number of members, and the number will be listed at the top of the chat. You can create your own community group to customize the name and member list that fits your purpose and preferences. You have access to Community Insights that lets you know information like the total number of visits within the last 30 days.

Do you need a phone number for Viber?

While Viber is available for desktops and tablets that are not innately linked to a phone number, you will need an actual number to start a Viber account. You can use the same phone number across your devices, like desktop, mobile phone, and tablet. You will also need to get Viber on your phone before you can use the program on your desktop.

The Viber for PC app will show you your QR code on the screen directly after the installation that you can scan from your phone to use the desktop app. The phone app has a ‘QR Code’ option in the settings that opens your camera to scan the code from the desktop screen. The QR code lets the software receive your chat history from your phone.

Is Viber a social media app?

Viber is more like a social media platform on the phone app than on the desktop, since the phone user interface includes an ‘Explore’ tab. Viber is like Discord in respect to the groups since you can join communities of people that share the same passions as you do.

The safety features come in handy with the massive group chats since your phone number is not put on display. Your groups will still appear in the simple desktop user interface in the left panel. You can tap on a chat to make the conversation appear on the main screen. A search bar is available to let you quickly find specific parts of discussions.

Viber lets you create content like GIFs by clipping a portion of a video to put on a loop that you can add text and icons to. Additionally, you can use Viber to make your own stickers from a picture to decorate and share. The exploration and content creation aspects make Viber similar to most social media applications.

Is Viber safe?

Viber is safe for one-on-one conversations since the messages are protected with end-to-end encryption by default. Community chats do not have the same level of secure messaging, since the messages are not end-to-end encrypted.

Viber includes disappearing messages, in case you want to send your confidential info to someone you trust. Private messages are the only method that you can use to safeguard your security. You can set a time limit on how long you want your message to be available for your recipient to view, and a timer lets you know when the message will vanish.

Viber lets you edit and delete messages that you already sent in one on one and group chats. Viber includes caller codes that tell you how secure your conversation really is.

Promising messenger and social app

Viber gives you an endless amount of content to explore, like groups with millions of members. Viber is one of the most used messaging apps in the world, along with Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Whatsapp. You can make free calls and messages to anyone with Viber. Media, like photos and videos, is a popular medium to use to connect on this app.

What’s new?

Viber is owned by Rakuten that is based in Japan. You can expect consistent updates that fix tech problems and add new features. Fingers crossed that the privacy policy will get updated with better terms for encrypted data in every type of chat, including communities.

PROS

  • GIF and sticker creators
  • Disappearing messages
  • Editor for already sent messages
  • High-quality voice and video calls
  • Unlimited number of members in communities

CONS

  • Communities are not encrypted
