Viber 10 Brings Numerous Additions – Group Calls, Hidden Numbers And More

When it comes to messaging apps, Viber is one of the best alternatives. The apps has become increasingly popular and more and more users use it. The reason why it is so successful is that developers work hard to bring constant improvements.

The latest version of the app was recently announced. Viber 10 comes with several new additions, as well as a redesign. The update is supposed to enhance the performance of those who use the app. Here are some things:

Viber 10 additions

With this new update there is a single calls screen. The screen for “Calls” has been updated and you can find there your recent calls. The screen can also be used to manage your Viber Out subscriptions, as well as access the phone book contacts screen.

The new version also introduces chats with hidden numbers. Until now, in order to chat, two users had to exchange phone numbers. This is no longer needed, and it is possible to chat and send messages without needing a phone number. With this feature, it is possible to communicate with new people that you meet through Communities, but your personal data will remain safe.

Viber also adds group calls. Users will be able to initiate a group voice call with up to five users. It is possible to start a call from a group chat, or you can add people to a regular call. There is also one main chat list for all the group and private chats, communities, chatbots and public content, which makes access a lot simpler.

The Viber 10 update should become available in the following days. The update is going to be a global staged rollout. It shouldn’t take long until all users will receive it.

Viber 10: The App Introduces Hidden-Number Chats

You have 10 seconds to tell me the name of one person who doesn’t know what Viber is. You probably couldn’t find one, because the app has grown so popular in the last years, it’s crazy!

Now, the team behind the app has decided to release a brand new version, the 10th version of the app for iOS and Android. The update comes with great changes. The biggest one is that it comes with a new user interface.

How is the user interface different?

The new version brings to us an all-white UI, which, as you may have already seen, it’s the latest trend in all of the apps. However, for the purple color that used to be Viber, it’s quite new.

Unified chat list

You will also get a unified chat list that has all of your chats – from private chats, group chats, and even Communities. This means that you don’t have to go through all of those different screens. It has become quite similar to Telegram or WhatsApp.

It comes with a list of calls

It will now also have a list with all of your calls, which is different than before. At the top of the screen, you can now see your Viber Out balance and your subscription.

A new way for people to chat

The app has introduced a way for people to chat, without having to reveal their number. This is best for Communities, where you can talk to strangers, without them knowing your real number. The feature is called Hidden-number Chats

What’s next?

The company has stated that next in the line is group calling. They said something about up to 5 people in a call.
