Viber Messenger is a messenger app for Android that advances the volume of the audio and video and queues to use the alternative to Skype.
The king of instant messaging and mobile chat is arguably WhatsApp. The Facebook-owned app is convenient and easy to use, and it has managed to reach over a thousand million active users - crazy. However, that doesn't mean it's the best, it's just the most used and downloaded.
And apps for chatting there are quite a few: Telegram, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Skype… and also Viber Messenger. This is one of the most interesting and complete that we can find for sending messages, and not just text: it has specific functionality to work with the VoIP protocol. That is, to send messages and calls, as well as video conferences and video messages.
Versions for Android, iPhone, Windows, and Mac
Developers of the rest of the apps have made efforts to develop their desktop clients that can be used from a PC (even if it's the browser), but Viber has been allowing this option for a long time. So, without reaching the amount of installation and use of Skype (additionally supported by Microsoft), it has a good base of users who precisely appreciate their features to use the app for video conferencing.
One of the best apps for chatting and sending text and video messages.
The application offers features such as the following:
- Create chat groups of 250 people at a time. Talk to everyone and like posts from other users.
- Make long-distance calls with totally free audio quality between users.
- Send audio messages or short, instant 30-second videos.
- Secure communication by encryption.
- Verifiable contacts.
- Stickers and emojis to better express yourself in your messages.
- Damage check: delete a written message or an audio message even after sending them. On the other hand, if they've already read or even captured it, it's no longer going to be of any use.
- Options to hide chats and that they are only accessible with a PIN code.
- Additional options like games, public account tracking, and different options for sharing photos and contacts.
More than an alternative to WhatsApp, it is rather an alternative to Skype thanks to its VoIP features much more developed than most apps that have video conferencing and phone calling features.
