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

Viber allows you to contact a person from any corner of the Earth. However, some of its functionality is paid, so it is important to figure out which calls will be without payment, and which will have to be paid for.
It is also worth considering that Viber can be installed on a smartphone or computer.

How to call via Viber from a phone?
Viber call.There are several ways to call:
- a contact from the phone book;
- user Viber;
- from chats;
- to any number, even abroad.
Contact from the phone book
If a person is registered in the application, then it is easy to call him for free in two ways:
- Open Contacts, select the desired subscriber, click on the Viber icon.
- Through the "Calls" option, which is located in the middle at the bottom of the messenger screen:
- select the desired contact;
- click on "handset" or "camera" (with video link).
Viber user
You can call someone who uses the messenger as follows:
- Click "Calls" at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the round purple dotted button at the bottom right and click on it.
- Enter a number.
- Click on the green handset to make a call.
See video for detailed instructions:
From chats
When chatting with any Viber user in chats, you can make a call:
- Open the chat. Click on the handset icon at the top of the screen.
- After - on the similar button next to the name of the interlocutor.
Call to any number
Viber Out is an add-on within the program that allows you to contact those who are not registered with Viber.
At the same time, you can call mobile and landline phones (including abroad).
This can only be done after replenishing the balance of the messenger.
In order to top up your account, you need to:
- click on the "More" button at the bottom of the messenger;
- select "Viber Out";
- in the tabs "Tariffs" or "Balance" find the most advantageous offer;
- enter bank card details;
- make a payment.
After topping up the balance:
- Select a contact from the list or enter the required number in the messenger.
- If the owner of the phone is not registered in Viber, then after pressing the "handset" button, the system will automatically offer a paid call.
- Select "Try with Viber Out".
To communicate with people who are not registered in the messenger, there is an opportunity to use various additional bonuses.
When depositing a certain amount, you can purchase "offer packages":
- unlimited "1 month worldwide";
- 100 minutes per month for country-specific calls to both mobile and landline phones.
If there is a discount coupon, it can be used when replenishing the balance. Such coupons are sent by the messenger itself, sometimes they are offered by some companies or people who cooperate with the application. They are also published online.
Are calls free or paid?
Android and smartphone users have the opportunity to make free calls via messenger. This rule is valid if the program is installed on both interlocutors, and there is also access to the Network.
If someone does not have Viber installed (the user is not registered), then it is still possible to call him through the application. However, this service will be paid. This is beneficial when making a call to another country.
Viber call from computer
Viber call from computer.Viber for a computer is a kind of analogue of Skype. For free calls, you will need to log in to the program. You can make such a call only to those devices that use the program.
To call a subscriber, press the handset (if calling saved contacts).
The number is dialed by pressing the dot icon on the left (reminiscent of the keypad of a push-button phone).
Advantages of communication via Viber
This program is universal for a large number of countries and allows you to communicate without restrictions. The main thing is to have the Internet. If the program is installed on both devices, then it is possible to contact a subscriber from anywhere in the world without paying for the connection.
However, the developers do not accept communication restrictions, so they made it possible to communicate even if one of the devices does not have an application. And although such conversations will cost money, Viber will reduce the costs for communication with other regions or even countries.
Viber Review - Free Messages and Voice Calls
Communication is an integral part of everyone's life, no wonder some companies have managed to make a good business out of it.
While international phone traffic is slowly declining, traffic from messaging and voice calls on apps like Skype is growing at an incredible rate, according to researchers at TeleGeography. In 2012, international calls from Skype to Skype grew by 44% to 167 billion minutes. In addition, despite the constant decline in the use of SMS in favor of Internet messengers, according to Informa’s forecast, 9 messages will be sent in 2016..4 trillion SMS messages. According to her data, in the same year, the turnover of the instant messaging market will reach $16 billion, of which 54% will go to operators, and 46% to applications such as WhatsApp. Thus, despite its simplicity, the messenger market is very attractive for both large companies and small startups. Viber Media has recently updated its instant messaging/voice calling software and is ready to compete with Skype and WhatsApp. She released the Viber messenger for the iPhone back in 2010, but the app gained real popularity only two years later, when it began to be used by 90 million people.
In less than a year, Viber has already gained an audience of 200 million people, and this is an amazing result. What won the public a new application? The big advantage of Viber is cross-platform, at the moment its application is available for Android, BlackBerry, Bada, iOS, Windows Phone and even Symbian mobile operating systems. In addition, the program has recently been released for Windows and OS X. Let's see what Viber has to offer users.

REGISTER!
To register in Viber, as well as in WhatsApp, you must enter the phone number to which you receive an SMS with an activation code. The program scans the phone book and determines which contacts also use Viber, so you don't have to add contacts manually. Moreover, Viber can display an alert if a person from the phone book has registered with Viber.
This feature can be disabled in the settings.
Interestingly, with the help of Viber, you can turn your iPod touch and iPad into a kind of phone. The application requires a mobile number, but authorization is carried out using a confirmation code. Thus, it is not necessary that the SIM card be inserted into the device itself.
Voice calls
Viber Media focuses on free voice calls. The user can make VoIP calls from Viber to Viber over Wi-Fi and the operator's 3G network. I even received calls from Wi-Fi to EDGE in the Kyivstar network, and the voice was transmitted just fine. It doesn't always work smoothly, but it's still impressive for a free service. The quality of voice transmission when calling via Wi-Fi is beyond praise, domestic operators cannot yet provide high quality voice transmission.
In Kyivstar, by the way, they don’t see a threat to Viber for their business, the operator’s press service vaguely answered my question:
, social networks, instant messengers, etc.
we are happy to provide our subscribers with the opportunity to use any communication channels. And VOIP applications are no exception.”
An incoming call to Viber is received like a regular call, you do not need to launch the program beforehand. The call can also be accepted or rejected.
Despite the presence of a numeric keypad in the application, free calls can only be made to numbers linked to Viber. If you call any other number, it will simply go through the operator's network and will be calculated according to its tariffs.
Received and missed calls in Viber are stored in a separate log.
In general, the program copes very well with voice transmission, the presence of a developed 3G network in Ukraine would completely reveal the potential of Viber, but with EDGE speeds, our operators really have nothing to be afraid of yet.
Messages
Instant messaging in Viber is well implemented and not much different from what WhatsApp offers.
The user can select a contact, write a text message to him, insert a photo, video, a link to a map, emoticons and a sticker into it. All this works like with regular SMS.
Messages are displayed as a dialog and below them you can immediately see whether they were delivered or not.
Correspondence history, unfortunately, is not saved on the servers, so if you delete Viber, messages with it will also be lost.
The standard messaging functionality in Viber is diluted with the ability to create a group chat of up to 40 people.
Sent messages in the program sometimes do not find their addressee, and although this is unpleasant, it happens very rarely, at least in my case.
PC Client
Not so long ago, Viber became available for desktop systems Windows and OS X. For Viber Media, this is a significant event, as the company has never hidden the fact that it competes with Skype. Unlike the complex and not very pleasant interface of the latter, Viber received a pleasant appearance without unnecessary elements.
The left side panel of the program contains the main menu, which contains links to messages, contacts, call log and dialer. Below is the settings button.
Viber desktop features are different from the mobile app. The program allows you to make video calls, however, they are still in beta and work with varying degrees of success. In the mobile client, the interlocutor can still be heard, but not seen. I hope Viber Media will fix this soon.
Also, incoming calls can be transferred between the program on the PC and the application on the smartphone. This function also does not work perfectly yet, but even so it is quite possible to use it.
Desktop Viber synchronizes messages with the mobile version, so you can start chatting on your smartphone and finish it on your PC.
Finally
Viber is an interesting alternative to Skype, operator voice calls and SMS. The program has minor flaws, but they are not so critical as to affect the overall impression of its use.
