How do I enable the self-destruct timer for messages in Viber?
The self-destruct timer is buried in the settings menu, not easily accessible from the chat screen. To find it, go to Settings > Privacy > Self-Destruct Timer, then toggle it on for individual chats.
Why does Viber randomly log me out on my Galaxy S23, and how can I fix it?
This is a known bug that can happen due to session conflicts or app cache issues. Try clearing the app cache in your phone's settings, and if it persists, reinstall Viber to stabilize the login session.
How can I stop the Viber Assistant from sending me notifications about games and sticker packs?
You can disable these promotional notifications by going to Viber Settings > Notifications > Viber Assistant, then toggling off suggestions for games and sticker packs. This will reduce the clutter without affecting core messaging.
Does Viber support end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls?
Yes, Viber uses end-to-end encryption for all calls and messages by default, so your conversations remain private. This is especially useful if you discuss sensitive information, as it prevents leaks even on unsecured networks.
How does Viber's call quality compare to WhatsApp or FaceTime on a Samsung phone?
Viber generally offers crisper voice and video calls with less lag and echo, even on spotty Wi-Fi, outperforming WhatsApp and FaceTime on Samsung devices. This makes it a better choice for international calls or travel, as noted by users with similar experiences.
