A few weeks after that WhatsApp Messenger has encrypted user conversations from all over the world, those from Viber have announced the implementation of a similar system to prevent the interception of conversations between users who use their system.
According to those from Viber, every time our conversations are secured we will see a closed padlock confirming this, separately the option to protect conversations with PINs is also available to users.
Those who wish have the possibility to completely hide chat sessions with various users, and the option to like multimedia content directly from the preview screens is also available.
- Increased security – the padlock icon confirms that all your messages – including groups and cross platform messages – are end-to-end encrypted
•Hidden Chats – hide away specific chats so nobody knows they even exist
Contact authentication – a new layer of security allows you to protect yourself further with a simple 'trust contact' mechanic
• 'Like' media from the preview screen – click the heart to like photos and videos even while you're watching them
•Reduced app size – Viber now takes up less space on your phone.
