Viber is a cross-platform instant messaging (IM) application that is used for sending free messages and making free calls around the world to Viber users through your smartphone and your PC. It is one of the OG messaging apps alongside WhatsApp and Telegram. Viber has a large user base so if you are a Viber user or want to become one, you will find it spot on.

Easy to set up and use

Viber is an incredibly easy application to set up and use. Viber for PC has one pre-requisite: to have Viber on your smartphone and have it set up. Since Viber uses your phone number as your identity, you must have downloaded, installed, and set up Viber on your iOS/Android smartphone before you can start using it on your computer.

Once that step is out of the way, all you have to do is open Viber on your PC and your smartphone, go to the settings in your phone, and scan the QR code that would be visible on the PC app. That will give you the option to sync chats and contacts, which will be done seamlessly once you give your permission.

After that, smooth sailing. You can start messaging and calling the people that you want.

Features

Viber is a free application that offers users the option to message, audio call, and video call other Viber users. Furthermore, there are features like Viber communities and Folders.

Viber communities are group chats that you can create and participate in. There are many options within the chat such as the option to add additional admins to control and monitor the chat as well as generate invite links.

Your folders are another option offered by Viber that you can use to filter out your chats on your main screen. You can create folders such as Work, Personal, Family, Friends, or whichever you want. Viber provides you the option to add up to 5 folders.

Viber Out

In case you want to call someone who is not available on Viber, you can use an exclusive feature called Viber Out through which you can call straight to landline or mobile phones within the application at low rates. To use Viber Out, you must first add credit (money) to your Viber account and then you can proceed with the calls.

Price

Viber is a free application. The only thing you will have to pay for is the Viber Out feature and that is only if you need to call directly on landlines or mobile phones.

Conclusion

Viber is a brilliant chatting and calling application that you can use to reach people, especially if you have your contacts on Viber.
