Nothing has really changed since August, as many others are saying Viber has become totally unreliable for sending and receiving messages.... ––/––I really wish we had a chance to revert to previous versions! Since the Aug 2 update nothing has been working properly, neither on IOS, nor on desktop (win). 11.3.0 did not resolve this. Sent messages and photos do not show in sender’s chat, often not received either, the ‘read’ marking no longer visible, ...pretty much unusable .....
VoiceOver and Braille Screen Input not working in Viber
HopWo
As a blind iPhone user relying on VoiceOver and the built-in Braille Screen Input, I find Viber impossible to use. The app does not allow proper text input with the Braille keyboard in chat fields — the input either disappears or is not accepted at all. This issue has existed for years and makes Viber unusable for many blind users.Other messaging apps like iMessage and WhatsApp work well with Braille Screen Input, so this is clearly a problem with how Viber handles accessibility.I have reported this issue before, but no fix has been provided, and no progress has been made. It’s disappointing to see that accessibility is not taken seriously, especially since blind users deserve equal access to communication tools.Please fix this issue and test the app properly with VoiceOver and Braille input.

Annoying bugs
Delzambot
If I pull up the stickers menu and selects gifs out stickers no matter what I select it just crashes the app btw this is coming from an iPhone 15 pro user and on PC (Windows 11 pro) it’s also bad like literally the viber DLL files are corrupted and the only way to update is start the app (automatic update starts) wait 3 seconds then shut down the whole program the reopen it then it works but when the didn’t work I have to go to the website and reinstall it (btw I’m NOT KIDDING THIS IS THE 19TH TIME DOING THE THIS) oh and someone ends the call it sometimes glitched and it’s says for me I’m recalling them which I’m not cause I didn’t even touch the PC and I literally can’t end the “call” and I have to kill the app takesTask manager

When I downloaded this app I had bad feelings about it... Because I never tried a chat app like this. I never tried any chat applications because I didn’t know how to use them. But when I downloaded this, I was so happy because when I started to use it my bad feelings are gone away and I was so happy to found this app. I use it every single day in my life and I hope I never have to delete it ‘cause this is the best!!! 👍😀
The Rakuten Viber experience just got better!
