About this app

Rakuten Viber Messenger is a messaging and calling app for chats, group messaging, voice and video calls, communities, channels, and international calls in one app. Stay connected with friends, family, and people around the world over a simple, expressive messenger built for secure messaging and everyday communication.

Send messages, photos, and files
Send text messages, instant voice and video messages, photos, videos, stickers, GIFs, contacts, and files in one chat app. React to messages instantly with thousands of emojis, so you can respond without typing. Personalize chats with custom stickers, reactions, and emojis. Share photos, notes, contact details, and files inside any conversation.

Make voice and video calls
Make voice and video calls to any Viber contact, anywhere in the world, on mobile or desktop. Enjoy clear sound and smooth calling between friends, family, and colleagues. Start a group video call with up to 60 people at once, use Group Call links on the desktop, and keep the conversation going across devices.

Group chats, communities, and channels
Open group chats with up to 250 members and stay organized with polls, quizzes, @mentions, and reactions. Discover communities and channels for sports, news, photos, music, and other interests. Follow topics you care about or start your own community to connect with people who share them. Build groups around hobbies, schools, teams, or local interests.

Private chats and end-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption is on by default for one-to-one chats, group chats, voice calls, and video calls between Viber users. Encrypted chats stay private between you and the people you talk to. Use disappearing messages with a custom timer, hide chats, and edit or delete messages you have already sent. Manage your privacy from one settings screen.

International calls with Viber Out
Use Viber Out to call landlines and mobile numbers in countries where the service is available. Choose a Viber Out subscription for a single destination, or buy minutes to call any international phone number you need. Save international contacts for quick calling later.

Express yourself with stickers, GIFs, and lenses
Make every chat fun with over 55,000 stickers, animated GIFs, and Viber lenses. Create custom stickers, react to messages with emojis, and personalize chats with photos and themes. Chatting feels more personal with expressive media.

Notes and reminders
Forward useful messages, save links, add notes, and set reminders so you never miss important tasks or events. Keep everything organized inside your messenger.

Ratings and reviews

Started forcing ChatGPT integration with no consent. You can opt out by going to "Settings" -->"Calls and Messages", but all of it is still in there, with a clearly visible tab at the bottom of the main screen. I'm stuck using this app for contacting family and work, but I am NOT happy about AI being forced into this app. I just have to dance around it like every other piece of garbage that integrates it by force.

If you want to receive spam ad messages every day, without an option to opt out, this is the app for you. Update: After receiving this answer, to go to some link to open a ticket to opt out, instead of having that option in the app at least, I opened the ticket as instructed, and I got this reply "While you can't opt out entirely right now, you can manage them in your phone settings". So, we made a full circle... there is no option in the app. Lie, after lie. A well deserved 1* now.

This program is unreliable. My latest issue was trying to make a phone call. I could hear the recipient, but he could not hear me. **The program just updated.** The program will not open now. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program entirely and restarted the phone twice, no luck. I essentially started the whole sign procedure again like a new user. I thought I had succeeded, but alas, I didn't. Marvelous! Unless a miracle occurs, it's bye bye Viber.
