A nightmare to transfer your chat history to a new phone. It defaults to a phone call verification option to verify your phone number. Not all calls go through, my phone identifies it as spam half the time, and to retry or try sms option you have to wait 30 seconds. Besides that the user experience is mediocre with ads. With alternatives freely available and working way better than this app, I do not recommend it. Edit: tranfer worked, it just took forever. Very poor verification execution.

The messages stay stuck all the time. You get a notification for new messages but when I open the app they aren't there. Sometimes restarting the app solves the problem, sometimes don't. It is really annoying, especially if you use a smartwatch, because you have to go always to your phone to see the messages. The support tried to give solutions, but I'm searching for a solution for months. I've tried everything and nothing works... I'm looking for alternatives, besides WhatsApp....

Hello Daniel, please check: 1. Are notifications allowed on your device? 2. Is data usage enabled in the background in Viber? 3. Is the power-saving mode turned off? Also check our article about fixing problems with notifications: vb.me/Fix_Notifications/en If it doesn't solve the problem, contact us: vb.me/store-en

Notifications are sent hours after the message has been sent, clicking on what causes the app go crash and clicking on the app icon after also results in a crash. Otherwise clicking on a notification freezes my phone and I have to force a reboot. Lately I've only been receiving notifications of people liking my messages and not their replies and the app takes up a huge amount of space
