Thank you for the report of the problem.

With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
Thanks in advance
it's actually an iPod, which does not have a Privacy option. Sorry if I was not able to provide this info initially.
Oh... you specifically mentioned an iPhone 5 in your original message.
Unfortunately Viber does not officially support iPods, and this may be the source of the problem here
Wrong profile photo - Viber OSX
I took my photo on my iPhone Viber and added it to my Viber profile. However on my Mac version of Viber, I see my name in the Viber contact list but with some stranger's photo! I have restarted my Mac several times but it is always there. I checked on my son's mobile Viber and my photo is correct in his list of Viber contacts. So the problem is only on my Mac - I think. Ideas? Help? Thanks...

sending message to user viber
I can't find the place where i can send a message to a user, so I post my question here.
Since 3 months I am using Viber and until now the speak quality is very poor.
WHen I make connection with the same person (same situtation) over skype, the connection is perfect. (even if I hate skype.)
Today he send me a text and following with something that looks in my screen like a waiting circle running forever. Since then we spoke over viber and that I can see in the list. But still the waiting circle is going round.
He told me that it was an image he send me. I let the phone stay in the waiting screen because I suppected it had to do with download time. hours later the circle is still running.
I stoppede Viber and restarted it again. Same problem.
How do I get rid of the waiting cirlcle? Can I cancel the image? I don't want it.

@SmartThinker -
It could be that the network you are connected to is blocking Viber's traffic.
1. First, please try uninstalling and reinstalling Viber when connecting to a few different WiFi networks (in order to pinpoint the source of the problem). What are the results?
2. Also, please make sure the following ports are enabled ("forwarded") on your routers or firewalls:
TCP: 5242 + 4244
UDP: 5243 + 9785
(if you are not sure how to enable ports, you may contact your router manufacturer)
* If it still fails, please specify what country you're located in, and which cellular network you're subscribed to.
Thank you for the report of the problem.

No access to photos
I use iphone 4s, and until this latest version of viber I had no problems at all. Now, I cannot access the photos, I am instructed to change the privacy settings.
But, my iphone does not have separate privacy settings- I do not have the latest version of iOS!!
WHat to do???
Thanks

Hi,
Which version of iOS do you have?
Have you tried going to Settings-->Privacy? Does Viber no appear there?
Same problem

Hey,
I currently have my Australian mobile number registered with Viber on my iPhone 5. As I'll be travelling overseas next month and changing SIM cards as I move to a different country, will I still be able to be contacted by my relatives back at home via my Australian mobile number through Viber or do I have to go through the registration process every time I get a new SIM?
Thanks.

This is a known issue, and we're currently working to fix it.
Meanwhile, as a workaround, please try this:
Go to your device's Settings -> Location services -> Turn On Viber's access.
@hieuiee -
Viber is "linked" with the device itself, not the SIM card that's inside the device.
This means that if your Viber is currently registered with your Australian number, then even when you go abroad and change SIM cards, your Viber identity (number) will remain the Australian number with which you first registered, and this is the number you should tell your friends to call you via Viber in order to reach you
We hope you enjoy your travels abroad!

Please help!! For the last week at night when my husband calls me (in Australia) from the USA via viber, a few seconds into the call, it tells him I'm on another call, I can still hear him, he can't hear me...and there is no call coming through to me!! Are there any glitches with viber that would cause this to happen? Please help, my husband think there is something suspicious going on....and I can't blame him!!!!
Hi Gretel,
Before we think of suspicious scenarios, please try the following
1. Please reboot both phones, and try again.
1. Try switching (both of you) between a few different WiFi networks, and see if the problem persists on all of them.
3. What phone are you using? Which version of operating system?
Thanks!
the Viber Team.
We are both using iPhone 4, on 3GS. At times when I answer and it says I'm on another call, my mute button is pressed, but testing that under normal circumstances does not say in his end that I'm on another call. This is serious, and causing great problems for the future of our marriage
Hi,
This is probably just some problem with the application itself. Nothing major to be worried about.

Hi there,
Strange... we are only aware of this kind of problem when 2 users are trying to register with the same number.

Hello, this isn't really a problem but I was wondering if I could have my entire chat history? I deleted the Viber app a while ago and now none of my chats are there anymore and I need to see a message on one
recently i have been experiencing mute problems with viber: only one of the parties is able to listen to the other - there isn't even lag on one end, but the other hears nothing.
the connectivity is great and both parties are using wi-fi. after failed attempts at communicating effectively with viber i switch to facetime with video and everything and there is no problem at all.
