Send messages for free
Staying in touch has never been easier. Send a free text, photo, sticker, GIF, voice, or video message, along with many other types of files.

Experience end-to-end encryption
On by default for all 1-on-1 calls, chats, and group chats, end-to-end encryption allows you to communicate with confidence knowing that all messages will remain private. No one, not even Rakuten Viber, can read your messages.

Express yourself with lenses, GIFs, and stickers
Personalize your chats! Get creative with fun, funny, and beautifying Viber lenses. GIFs and over 55,000 stickers also await you - you can even create your own.

Use disappearing messages
Send disappearing messages in your 1-on-1 and group chats by setting a timer for each message. You can choose how long the message will be available after it’s opened - 10 seconds, 1 minute, or up to 1 day!

Connect in Communities and Channels
Whether it's sports, news, cooking, travel, or entertainment, get the content you really want and connect with others with similar interests. You can even start your own Community or Channel and gain a global following.

Chat with AI bots

Absolutely useless app. Trying to set it up on a new phone but it never sends the activation call, and after several attempts to get it to call me, it finally just said "Activation failed" because it blocked by account. What a joke. EDIT: And I filled out the contact form. I got an automated reply saying I'd get a text with a 6-digit code, even though the app asks for a 4-digit code. Oh, and I never got the text, either.

When the New on Viber ad is visible on the chat list, scrolling becomes extremely slow and choppy. Once it is off-screen, the action is smooth again. I wonder if this is a bug introduced in the recent version as I don't recall having issues with that aspect of the app. Hopefully not a deliberate slowdown to push their subscription.

Been using Viber for 10+ years but over the last two years the app has become so unreliable that we're forced to switch now. First message previews stopped working and now it's hit and miss whether (and when) I receive a notification at all. There are also often long delays until messages are delivered - really every basic messenger function no longer works as it should and it's not just me having those problems but the whole family across different phones and OS. What a shame.

Hello Mia, please check: 1. Are notifications allowed on your device? 2. Is data usage enabled in the background in Viber? 3. Is the power-saving mode turned off? Also check our article about fixing problems with notifications: vb.me/Fix_Notifications/en If it doesn't solve the problem, contact us: vb.me/store-en
