We think it’s safe to say that Viber is the free, most safe and fast messaging app out there. More than 1 billion of people have used it all around the globe. And it’s understandable, if we are to look at what it has to offer.
First of all, this app is entirely free, and all you need is a Wi-Fi connection or a data plan. You can even make international calls, open group chats, send text messages – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Why should I get it?
Apps from desktop and tablet get fully synced
Viber gets fully synced to your laptop or tablet. You can see all your messages from your desktop.
Video calls and phone calls
You won’t get interrupted by the fact that you cannot hear what the other person says – not anymore.
Low-cost calls to Landlines
You can call landlines, or people who don’t use Viber or really anyone, even if they don’t have internet or a mobile phone. All of this can happen with Viber Out ’s international calling service.
Free messages
This app allows you to send free text messages, send photos to your friends, GIFs or stickers or even videos.
Group Chats
You can create group chats, as you’d expect. But get this – you can add up to 250 members.
You’re going to have 100% privacy
The app comes with end-to-end encryption, so any type of info or file that you share on Viber will stay between you and that specific person. The message gets to the user in the form of an encrypted code that can only be read by their device, which will translate it to text using an encryption key. This key is only on the device – your device – so no one will get it (not even the people from Viber).
What’s new?
You can not create a poll in any group chat and watch how they vote. You get up to 15 minutes of recording time and you can rewind or fast forward listening your audio messages.
