About

The first messenger without user IDs. Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. Many users asked: if SimpleX has no user identifiers, how can it know where to deliver messages? To deliver mesages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers. You define which server(s) to use to receive the messages, your contacts — the servers you use to send the messages to them. Every conversation is likely to use two different servers. This design prevents leaking any users' metadata on the application level. To further improve privacy and protect your IP address you can connect to messaging servers via Tor. Only client devices store user profiles, contacts and groups; the messages are sent with 2-layer e2e encryption.

About

Communities on Viber bring people together — Take part in a conversation on any topic you’re passionate about. Our mission is to protect your privacy so that you never have to think twice about what you can or can't share when you're using Viber. Family meeting, group hangout, or yoga class—everything can happen on group chat, video, or voice calls. Take back what you didn't mean to send— from all members of the chat. Be part of public groups with people who share your same passions—from brands to influencers. Communities are the new social and the best way to bring people together. Think group chat, only with unlimited members, more admin control and new conversation features. Call any landline or mobile number in the world, even if they don't have Viber. Buy a Viber Out subscription and start calling!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Security. Anonymous presence. Encryption. Availability for Windows 64, Android, iOS, and even the terminal.

Cons

  • Not too easy the first time. It may be a little hard to start with it when one is used to playing with another messaging app.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Works well as a desktop messaging app, synced with the android version. But the alternatives are much better, thus this is not to be recommended.
  • (+) Viber desktop application and very good sync with the desktop application. (+) Transfer of photos and videos without drop in quality. (+) It can seamlessly do group calling with more users without a drop in quality. (+) Self-erasing messages is a great way of cleaning up space.
  • This was one of the first instant messaging app I had on my iPhone. Simple to set up and uses your phone number and instantly shows all other contacts that have Viber. It has stickers which is a fun way to communicate with friends and family. Great group calling support and quality with 20 people and more. Has message encryption so your privacy is safe.
  • It can connect more than 200 people in group chat. Video quality is very good even on unstable connection. Funny stickers and emojis. Can join many global public community to make new friends.
  • Love how easy it is to use to send messages internationally at no additional cost when they also have Viber.

Cons

  • This software insists to interrupt you by its updates, which become available very frequently, and which you have no choice but to be interrupted by, since the app doesn't give up till you restart it, then opens up its blog page each time. There is no option to turn this incredibly annoying behaviour off. Irritated customers writing reviews such as this one, ensue. Also, the advertising is very obtrusive.
  • (-) No blocking of calls feature. (-) Nonavailability and limited audience base which is a drawback. (-) Too many stickers and gifs make it annoying. (-) There is no backup option for your chat like in WhatsApp.
  • Needs more innovative features to catch up with its competitors. App crashes sometimes and have to close the app via switcher and open again. Sometimes doesn't detect mobile data.
  • I never faced any issue on usage of this app. It works very well for what it made for.
  • Super easy to use which I can't think of any cons.
