Rakuten Viber Messenger

Messaging and Viber-to-Viber calls with groups, communities, disappearing messages and separate Viber Out calling.

Our take

Consider it when the people you contact already use Viber

Free app-to-app calls, group features and notes cover everyday communication in one place.

Keep in mind: Calls to ordinary landline or mobile numbers use separately priced Viber Out; encryption claims should not be extended to every bot or public channel.

What you can do

  • Send messages, media and files.
  • Make app-to-app voice/video calls.
  • Use group polls, reactions and disappearing messages.
  • Follow communities or make separate Viber Out calls.

Good for

  • Contacts and families already using Viber.

Consider alternatives for

  • People assuming every international telephone call is free.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.4.
  • The developer describes default end-to-end encryption for private calls, one-to-one chats and group chats.
  • Public channels, bots and recipient copies deserve separate privacy consideration.

Privacy & permissions

Messages and shared media go to their recipients; bots can introduce another service. Disappearing messages do not prevent a recipient retaining content.
