Absolutely useless app. Trying to set it up on a new phone but it never sends the activation call, and after several attempts to get it to call me, it finally just said "Activation failed" because it blocked by account. What a joke. EDIT: And I filled out the contact form. I got an automated reply saying I'd get a text with a 6-digit code, even though the app asks for a 4-digit code. Oh, and I never got the text, either.

Viber has become a bad app and it is getting worse with every major update. I have lost a part of my personal data many times because of an update or a backup restoration. Syncing between android and windows is problematic. Technical support sends you off politely instead of helping. Ads pop up in your face midsentence when you type sponsored keywords. Themes have been removed leaving only black or white option.

It's unacceptable that Viber doesn't work with Do Not Disturb on Pixel 7 and possibly on Android as a whole. If you enable 'Do Not Disturb', Whatsapp and Phone apps allow you to exclude them so that they ring when someone calls. Viber does not support this. As a result, if you want to use Do Not Disturb in any shape or form you have to accept that Viber becomes unusable -people will call and you won't hear. Also it does not implement Voice isolation like the Android Zoom for workplace app does.
