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!

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

The activation via phone call does not work for many users. SMS also is extremely unreliable. I finally activated my account and was faced with a poor app and high call charges. Asked to delete my account and was told it could only be done via the app. It took a week of repeated attempts to get back into the app. Yolla and Talk 360 worked perfectly and are cheaper. Avoid Viber at all costs.

Viber has become a bad app and it is getting worse with every major update. I have lost a part of my personal data many times because of an update or a backup restoration. Syncing between android and windows is problematic. Technical support sends you off politely instead of helping. Ads pop up in your face midsentence when you type sponsored keywords. Themes have been removed leaving only black or white option.
