Rakuten Viber Messenger is a communication app that enables users to connect through messaging, voice, and video calls. It facilitates one-to-one chats, group discussions, and broader community engagement, all while prioritizing secure messaging. A key feature is its end-to-end encryption, which is active by default for private chats, group conversations, and calls between Viber users, helping to ensure the privacy of communications.
Messaging and Media Sharing
The app allows users to send various types of messages and media. This includes standard text messages, instant voice and video messages, photos, videos, stickers, GIFs, and contact information. Users can also share files within any conversation. For interactive communication, thousands of emojis are available to react to messages instantly without needing to type a full response, and chats can be personalized with custom stickers, reactions, and emojis.
Voice and Video Calls
Rakuten Viber Messenger supports both voice and video calls to any Viber contact globally, accessible on both mobile and desktop devices. The app is designed to provide clear sound and smooth calling experiences. For group interactions, it supports group video calls with up to 60 participants simultaneously. Group Call links can be generated on the desktop to easily initiate these calls, and conversations can continue across different devices.
Group Communication and Communities
Users can open group chats with up to 250 members, which include tools like polls, quizzes, and @mentions to help organize discussions. Reactions to messages are also available in group chats. Beyond private groups, the app offers communities and channels focused on various interests such as sports, news, photos, and music. Users can follow topics they care about or create their own communities to connect with others who share their hobbies, school affiliations, team interests, or local interests.
Privacy Features
In addition to end-to-end encryption for one-to-one chats, group chats, and calls, Rakuten Viber Messenger provides several tools to manage privacy. Users can send disappearing messages with a custom timer, hide specific chats from their main list, and edit or delete messages they have already sent. All privacy settings can be managed from a single screen within the app.
International Calls with Viber Out
For reaching contacts outside of the Viber network, the app includes a service called Viber Out. This feature allows users to make calls to landline and mobile numbers in countries where the service is available.
