Unfortunately, it will not be possible to retrieve those lost messages, since we (Viber) do not keep our users' message history on our servers - we care about our users' privacy.
We recommend to use our Export message history function every once in a while, in order to make sure that those messages are backed up.
@Troneas
Can you please give us more specific details concerning your device and the issue. ( How many times is it happens, With just one specific person or more? )
Thanks in advance,

My girlfriend and I use viber to communicate and save money on minutes. However, recently we have had an audio issue. One person will call the other but will not be able to hear the person they called. However, the person who was called will be able to hear the caller.
For example, if I call my girlfriend, she can hear me but I can't hear her. Any idea how to fix it?
We both use iPhone 4s on iOS 6.1.3 and neither have jailbroken the phone or anything like that.

issue with the call preference
Hello
I have Samsung S advance. It had android 2.3 and then it has been updrated to 4.1.
With android 2.3, when I wanted to make a call or message I had some options for my installed internet call apps like skype, viber, mobile Voip, webcalldirect and also phone call option in the call or message preference.
But since it updated to 4.1, there are all gone and disappeared. I can't see them anymore in the call preference when I want to make a call. Just Skype and phone call are there. While they are all be in the message preference.
I post it here because I've found this froum is very active and Viber experts also give useful advices. Maybe somebody can help me to fix this?
Because I want to have all of them in the call preference.
Thanks
Vahid

VIBER - Ringing but not ringing
Hi
I have this unique problem with my viber for quite some time now but i can't find any solution to it. Most of the times when anyone calls on my viber, even though i have my iphone connected to wifi & right infront of me, but it (viber) will not ring. When they call me on my landline & tell me to connect viber, i see their missed calls already on viber.
Sometimes i finish a call on viber & wait for them to call me back BUT when it does not ring for some time i open viber & could see their missed calls : they had called me again & again but it didnt ring. Its quite frustrating.
Any solution please.

Hi, i was using viber with my gf and when i was speaking she started to say "who called you?" i was very surprised because in fact i didn't have any call. She is absolutetly sure that her phone was placed on hold, and the screen had a message that said that i was answering another call.
I'm really want to know how is it possible because she doesn't believe.

It's hard for us to determine what really happened, based on the information you gave us.
It might have been just a temporary glitch in our server. Please let us know if this issue reoccurs.
@vanillafox -
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 or your Internet Service Provider)
* If it still fails, please specify what country you're located in, and which cellular network you're subscribed to.

viber problem with message " is on another call "
Hello i am using viber at my iphone 5 in order to talk with my girlfriend who has iphone 4s . The problem is that while we were talking i got the message that she was at another call. After 10-20 seconds i was able to talk again with her and when i asked her who called her she told me that nobody had called her either from 3g or from viber. Is this possible to happen ? If yes how ? maybe by using accidentally an other application ? Or maybe a viber setting ? Plesae help me because this is very serious for me.

Hi,
Generally, this message ("on another call") is shown when the other contact receives a cellular call. The Viber call is automatically put on hold until the cellular call ends.
However, theoretically this could have been a momentarily "glitch" in our servers.
Unfortunately we (Viber) cannot provide the accurate information in this case.

Hi,
Please try removing Viber, wait 24 hours, reinstall and try again (make sure you try both the SMS and the automated call options). You may also try to register to Viber through a few different WiFi networks.
If the problem persists, then we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum". With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
Thanks in advance

VPN message history problem
hello,
I've used Viber for several months on Mac OS X 10.8.x and had no problems.
Once I've connected to OpenVPN AS, messages history are not being synchronised on my ViberDesktop. Synchronisation are only became active to messages, while Mac is on-line. On my iPhone everything is good, and I can see all of group message history.
On the VPN server were some changes on DNS. One time it had no WAN DNS at all, only locals. Before the DNS changes Viber worked fine.
Now, there are DNS servers 7.7.7.7 and 8.8.8.8. Still not working, even Mac is off-VPN.
On the iPhone messages are still able to sync, neither I'm on or off VPN connection (GPRS, 3G, WiFi doesn't matter).
Reintalled Viber desktop twice.
Upgraded OS X on Mavericks.
Nothing.
