About this app

Rakuten Viber is a messaging and calling app for chats, group messaging, voice and video calls, communities, channels, and international calls in one app. Stay connected with friends, family, and people around the world over an expressive messenger built for secure messaging and everyday communication.

Send messages, photos and files
Send text messages, instant voice and video messages, photos, videos, stickers, GIFs, contacts and files in one chat app. React to messages instantly with thousands of emojis, so you can respond without typing. Personalise chats with custom stickers, reactions and emojis. Share photos, notes, contact details and files inside any conversation.

Make voice and video calls
Make voice and video calls to any Viber contact, anywhere in the world, on mobile or desktop. Enjoy clear sound and smooth calling between friends, family and colleagues. Start a group video call with up to 60 people at once, use Group Call links on the desktop, and keep the conversation going across devices.

Group chats, communities and channels
Open group chats with up to 250 members and stay organised with polls, quizzes, @mentions and reactions. Discover communities and channels for sports, news, photos, music and other interests. Follow topics you care about or start your own community to connect with people who share them. Build groups around hobbies, schools, teams or local interests.

Private chats and end-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption is on by default for one-to-one chats, group chats, voice calls and video calls between Viber users. Encrypted chats stay private between you and the people you talk to. Use disappearing messages with a custom timer, hide chats, and edit or delete messages you have already sent. Manage your privacy from one settings screen.

International calls with Viber Out
Use Viber Out to call landlines and mobile numbers abroad in countries where the service is available. Choose a Viber Out subscription for a single destination, or buy minutes to call any international phone number you need. Save international contacts for quick calling later.

Express yourself with stickers, GIFs and lenses
Make every chat fun with over 55,000 stickers, animated GIFs and Viber lenses. Create custom stickers, react to messages with emojis, and personalise chats with photos and themes. Chatting feels more personal with expressive media.

Notes and reminders
Forward useful messages, save links, add notes, and set reminders so you never miss important tasks or events. Keep everything organised inside your messenger.

Rakuten Viber is part of the Rakuten Group, a global leader in e-commerce and financial services.

this is like one of the worst texting apps ever I do not get why so many people use it (to the point it's impossible to communicate without it because most people only have this app). It crashes so much won't let me end a call when I accidentally call someone everything is glitchy and takes too long to send my texts even tho my wifi is perfectly fine.

It was okay, but not anymore. They are making the appp for Android and PC FILLED WITH AI SLOP. We don't need AI in a basic messaging app. Just terrible. If most of my family wasn't on this I'd just delete it. Like from all the featues they could've added they choose something nobody wants. Like why not add the sensical option to archive chats? But no, AI slop is much more useful... And you can't even turn it off. HORRENDOUS

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We’ll pass it on to our team for further consideration. Currently, you can disable Image Remix, AI Reply suggestions, and ChatGPT in chats under Viber Settings > Calls and Messages.

I'm genuinely so frustrated by this. I am unable to activate my account because the sms and the call is NOT going through, even though my number can receive calls and messages. I have to wait for 24 hours to try again, only for it to be the EXACT SAME THING. I need this app for my workplace and it's been nothing but disappointment and stress. PLEASE fix this.
