You can do it all with Rakuten Viber: group chats, disappearing messages, reminders, and more:

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.

Make free audio and video calls

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.

Make low-cost calls to landlines with Viber Out

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.

UPDATE: I was able to sign in with the text messages code. i was so scared that text messages doesnt work too, but glad it did.. thanks a lot for your help! now, I can start calling my family again with this app.

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.
