It is an application available for Android and iPhone mobile devices. It works in the background, but like WhatsApp or Messenger, for example, where it will mark your status " Online »Only when you log into the app.
Like WhatsApp or Telegram, Viber is an instant messaging service that you can use from your PC desktop.
This app allows you to share messages, calls, video calls, pictures, videos with your friends and you can even share your location.
You can set it up so that only your contacts can see your profile picture, or customize it some data relating to your privacy as:
- End-to-end encrypted messages, so that only you and the recipient of the message know the content of the messages.
- Self-destructing messages that will be removed from your conversations once you read them.
- Secret Conversations, which you can hide or archive from the card conversations. You can even create chats where images cannot be downloaded.
- Establish a password to lock your account, for this you will need to download an application in the Play Store or Apple Store.
How to hide my "Online" status in Viber quickly and easily
If you don't want other users of this platform to know when you are using the app, you can change the status " in line »In Viber in just a few steps.
To get started, log into the app. If a conversation opens, click the arrow in the upper left corner to return to the main screen.
The next thing will be to click on the options menu you have at the top right, represented by three lines and a red circle.
From there, scroll down to " Settings ". Search the section » Privacy »Within the configuration options. You will now have a new screen to customize your account and protect your data.
As in this case, what we are trying to do is hide the state " Online ", click on the first item you have " Share state »So that it is deactivated.
Note that you can turn this status on or off as many times as you want, but to do it again you have to wait 24 hours.
How can I change the last connection in Viber in a few steps?
Even if from the official page they tell us that it is not possible to change the last connection in Viber, we always find the solution.
If you don't want to wait 24 hours to change again the your state «Share status ", there is another alternative that does not require complex third party applications. It is a question of activating the " Flight mode" of your device.
It is a simple but very useful trick, where in addition to being able to continue using Viber, you can receive calls and text messages. Applications like WhatsApp, Telegram or Viber put us by default " online »Every time we open the app. With Viber you can not only see if another person is online, but also if they are chatting at the moment
Although now we can avoid the " Viewed »When we read a message from the privacy settings, the other person may be careful to see our status. This could become annoying, but by activating the " Flight mode »We will remove the internet connection to be online.
If you have activated the option » Viewed «, The other person will know that you have read their message when you reactivate the Internet connection. If you want to reply to a message, you can do it, but remember when you exit the app, deactivate the " Flight mode »So that your message is delivered. Otherwise they will never be shipped.
Hopefully later Viber can improve these privacy aspects and that there is an official alternative for change or hide the date and time of the last connection. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.
