Ratings and reviews

Update: I did try all those things as you mentioned. It really took time bcoz I had to do one by one then tested sending/receiving media as well as attached files. Unfortunately, none of them worked. I even reinstalled Viber but it didn't help either. Surprisingly disappointed coz this version has kept me waiting for so long time while downloading/uploading attached files or images or clips. Text sending and receiving is Ok then. Samsung S22, fyi. Tks.

After the latest update, new messages in any group chat do not update the group's (date/latest) status in the last seen list, therefore, the group does not get bumped up to the top of the last seen list with the latest message. Please fix this new bug. Update: the bug has been properly fixed with the new software update. Thus, the rating change Update 2: constantly getting stuck at sending media. Poor quality sometimes at calls, even on high speed WiFi. App quality got worse.

I rarely write out bad reviews but Viber is completely dysfunctional on my S24 Ultra. Sending media is a nightmare; uploads freeze at 0% and only go through at random, unrelated to any connectivity issues. Video calls come through without any notifications, and message alerts are sporadic at best. Frankly, if it wasn't for the fact that my contacts still use it, I would have ditched this app already.
