Viber, unlike most other instant messaging and telecommunications apps, has a special feature called “secret chat”.
This features allows the conversations between groups or two individuals to self-destruct after a certain time has passed, erasing all trace of them having spoken.
To open secret chat, follow the following instructions:
• Open the existing chat
• Tap the menu button
• Choose the Open secret chat option
• Set the timer and send your disappearing messages, in the new chat.
You will now be able to use this feature, with your messages disappearing at the time you set.
In regards to notifications, secret chats won’t mention the name of the message sender in the notification bar. Instead, you will learn who it is and what the message is when you open the message.
