An instant messaging app, Viber, is used all over the world. It is a multi-platform application that was initially made for Apple iOS but later released for Android (and other iOS) and then a desktop version. It is free software, operating soul-ly on the internet connection, other than making calls to Non-Viber contacts by Viber Out.
Viber lets you broadcast messages to multiple contacts, send messages, images, videos, audios emoticons, gifs, and stickers instantly to anyone. Viber is the only instant messaging platform that lets Brands and Labels talk to their customers with features like Viber Community. Viber is the answer to all your Instant messaging problems.
