Viber is one of the most popular messengers on the planet. The volume of its audience exceeds 200 million people. People use Viber to exchange messages, view the latest news, send photos, and more. According to experts, the Viber app has several useful features that almost no one knows about. This article will discuss them.
“Invisible” status
Viber allows you to view information about when a particular user was last online. If you do not want to share this information with others, then to hide it, it is enough to activate the “Invisible” mode. You can do this in the messenger settings.
Blocking users
Viber has implemented the ability to block annoying or unpleasant interlocutors. To stop receiving messages from a specific user, you need to open a dialogue with him, swipe left, open the options menu in the corner, and then select “Block”. To unblock a user, you need to enter the “Privacy” section, then select “List of blocked contacts”.
Hidden chats
The “Hidden chats” function allows you to hide any chat from the eyes of outsiders. To do this, it is enough to pinch the dialog with your finger, and then press the “Hide” button. The program will offer to come up with a four-digit password. The hidden chat will not be displayed on the main page.
Secret chats
The “Secret Chats” function is intended for conducting personal correspondence. Any dialogue can be turned into a secret chat. To do this, it is enough to select the item “Enable secret chat” in the settings. Messages sent to the interlocutor through secret chat will self-destruct after a certain time.
Smart alerts
In order not to miss an important message, you can use the “Smart Alerts” function. You can do this by right swiping in the chat. You need to select “Smart messages” in the menu. After that, Viber will combine all incoming messages into one. That way, you won’t hear a beep every time the interlocutor texts you again. The messenger will only sound once.
Conversation gallery
During communication, Viber users often exchange media files with each other. To quickly find the desired video or photo in a large correspondence, you can use the “Gallery of conversations” function. To do this, you need to swipe to the left in the dialogue, and then select the gallery.
Location
If you have difficulty explaining your location, you can send your coordinates to the interlocutor. To do this, you need to select + at the bottom of the chat, then tap on the inscription “Share location”. A card with coordinates will appear on the screen. You need to send it to the interlocutor.
