WhatsApp and Telegram are the two most used messaging applications in the world, however they are not the only ones. In the Middle East, for example, Viber is the most used application. This messaging application has just received a new update that incorporates temporary group messages.
After installing the latest update already available in the App Store, users who write in group chats can set the time they want them to be available. After that time, the messages will be deleted automatically. In addition, users will also receive a notification if a screenshot of a temporary message, sticker or shared photo has been taken.
This functionality so far was only available in individual chats. While WhatsApp establishes a fixed time of 7 days for messages to be deleted, Viber allows you to configure the duration of the message between 10 seconds and 24 hours, a much more reasonable time. You will also not be able to copy the message and paste it into another application or forward it to a Viber preserve.
Viber, like WhatsApp, encrypts all personal and group chats end-to-end, so it is an excellent option to consider for users seeking security in their communications.
Through Viber, not only can you send messages, but it is also a excellent alternative to Skype to call landline or mobile phone numbers in any country, with very cheap call rates.
This messaging application, which by the way has a very careful design and is part of the Rakuten group, is available for free download on the App Store and the Play Store. It is also available for Windows and macOS, in addition to Linux.
