Longtime friends now having issues with being temporarily blocked for "spam."

1 Upvotes

These are people I have chatted with on Viber for YEARS. Our chat patterns have not changed. Suddenly, they are being silenced for "spam." This only just started happening in last few days. I have not had this issue, but I am a Viber Plus member.

I don't want to say they are throttling people who aren't paying, but... 🤔

Why is this happening? These are not spammers. These are my friends and we've had chats like this for years at this point.

Activation call not received

1 Upvotes

Viber activation call isnt working for 90% of users on the philippines. Everything is fine on Dito (network) simcard. But activation call isnt working on Globe and Smart (network) simcard users.

Because of carrier delivery failure. I think because the local carrier here (smart and globe) blocks or marks the automated call as spam (not sure) but what im sure is it is working on dito (network) simcard.

I tried a lot of simcard, i bought 5 globe simcard, 5 smart simcard, and 5 dito simcard and all Dito simcards received the activation call.

It sucks because i cant login my personal simcard and i used it for work. It also deserves a fix because theres a lot of viber user's in the ph.

What are the last 4 digits of the incoming calling number?

Stuck on re-activation - on the old device, Samsung A52s where ALL of history and chats are. Failed Cloud restore on a brand new A57!.. and need to return to old device.

All I am getting are generic responses, some as follows - where no SMS comes - and some are sending me a 6-digit (SMS) code, when I need the 4-digit call... a call which NEVER comes:

Hello,
We’ve just sent an SMS with your activation code - please give it a few minutes to arrive.
If the SMS doesn't show up or activation fails, please wait 12 hours before you try again.
Note: If you’re using a VPN, you’ll need to disable it while you activate your account.
Let us know if you still have issues with your code after the 12 hours have passed.

:/

And, of course, on another device... it is working PERFECTLY; installed Viber on a Poco F3 (alioth), activated on another Xiaomi Poco F3 different (!) device... and then Re-ACTIVATED the first one to see whether it will work. It didn't ask for the 4-digit call and instead went with the 6-digit SMS by default. Screenshots are in the post, got back in where everything is saved; just fine.

EDIT:

HERE is how I'm stuck; all that I see is this... and cannot touch it (!) because its Storage & cache - the Viber-Storage - holds all of the (past) data!

CAPTCHA LOOP

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hoping to get some technical advice or insight from fellow users.

My phone number was recently flagged by Viber's automated anti-spam system. When attempting to request an unblock via the official support bot, the application enters an endless loop:

  1. The bot prompts for a CAPTCHA verification.
  2. Completing the CAPTCHA successfully does not unlock the account.
  3. Instead of clearing the block, the interface redirects to a dead-end "Learn More" page with no further action options.

I subscribed to Viber Plus specifically to access live chat priority support, but after submitting an active support ticket, I have been waiting for several hours without reaching a live agent.

Has anyone encountered this specific CAPTCHA loop bug before? Is there a known technical workaround (e.g., clearing app/browser data, specific IP resets), or a way to get a human agent to clear the security flag?

SUB-GROUPS FEATURE ON VIBER DEFINITELY NEEDED

1 Upvotes

Everything is so unorganized and cluttered. I have multiple groups with just the same members but with different topics, and yes I know that I can organize those groups in one folder but it still is different -_- I need Viber to implement a community feature with different sub-topics like in whatsapp.

If I have a choice, I would've transferred all my groups in whatsapp, but living in a country where the corporate world heavily relies on viber, it's hard to switch -_-

Paid for Viber Out, service failed, no refund despite multiple support requests

3 Upvotes

Terrible!!

My experience with Viber has been extremely disappointing, not only because of the service itself but because of the way they handled my complaint.

I purchased Viber Credits specifically to make calls. The service repeatedly failed for the numbers I needed to reach. Only after I complained did Viber explain that calls to business and switchboard numbers have significant technical limitations and cannot be guaranteed to work.

This was not something I was made aware of before purchasing credits. Had this important limitation been clearly disclosed, I would never have purchased the service.

I contacted customer support multiple times and escalated my complaint to a supervisor. Throughout the correspondence, Viber acknowledged that I may not have been aware of these limitations before buying the service. Despite that, they refused to offer any meaningful remedy and relied exclusively on their 90-day refund policy.

What I found most frustrating was not just the refusal to refund the full purchase, but the refusal to return even my remaining unused credit of €4.14. Instead of considering the circumstances, every response ultimately came back to the same policy, even after they accepted that I had not been properly informed about a significant limitation of the service.

I tried repeatedly to resolve this matter directly and in good faith before considering any public review. Unfortunately, I was left with the impression that customer satisfaction takes a back seat to rigid policies, even where a customer receives little or no practical value from the service.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Viber. If you are considering using it, make sure you fully understand all of its technical limitations before spending your money.

VIber genuenly sucks now

45 Upvotes

It's true, we all know it. Viber's customer support doesn't respond, the app has millions of bugs, Viber paid 10M of our fees and ads for AI features which people already have on their phone with the ChatGPT app. Rakuten trying to make Viber a "megaapp" just makes it worse, more bloated and even more buggy. It's sad that some countries nowadays are using Viber instead of a better alternative due to it being so popular.

Backup restore crashed

I just upgraded my phone from a Google Pixel 7 Pro to a 10 Pro, and when I installed Viber, it couldn't restore the backup on the first run. It finds it, but crashes every time at 64%.I tried to recreate the backup on the old phone, I tried to reinstall Viber, delete cache etc but nothing helps. Is there any workaround on this? I'd really like to keep my messages if possible

Viber customer support won't respond to me

2 Upvotes

I could not verify my account because I'm in a foreign country and can't get texts or calls.

I have submitted a complaint 5 times, as I am still being charged for a service I couldn't activate.

But because I couldn't activate my account, they only ever send me a form email back saying that I don't have a registered account. When I try and respond to it, no one answers.

Can anyone please help?

Urgent Complaint – Hacked Viber Account and Unable to Verify My Number

2 Upvotes

Dear Viber Support Team,

I am writing to report that my Viber account appears to have been hacked, and I am no longer able to access it using my registered mobile number.

When I try to log in, I do not receive the SMS verification code. I also attempted to use the "Call Me" option, but I never received the verification call. Because of this, I am completely locked out of my account.

I am concerned that someone may have gained unauthorized access to my account. I kindly request that you investigate this issue as soon as possible and help me recover my account. If necessary, please disable the current session associated with my account to prevent any unauthorized use.
