Viber has not established a limit for its members.In 2020, Viber’s group-call participants doubled.Viber handles more than 70,000,000 interactions per hour.Viber saw a 170% increase in all group-related activities in 2020.The COVID19 crisis has seen a twofold increase in the number of participants in group calls.Each day, there are approximately 1.2 Million Viber logins.There are more than 1.1 billion Viber users across the globe.Viber is accessible in more than 40 languages.My hope is this is just a matter of them asking permission before the sync and that they are not grabbing info without my permission. For about 1 second it said something like… syncing address book, then the same message pops up asking me if to allow or deny access. So l closed the app then opened again to see if it would still ask for my address book info. I think they need to add a lot more detailed info on what is being done with everyone’s contact info! It continues with a short list of em… what they admit to doing with all your info (and the info of friends and family) that you’ve allowed them access to. A copy of the phone numbers and names in your address book (but not emails, notes or any other personal information in your address book) will be stored on our servers…”
VIBER OUT CALL TO ISRAEL INSTALL
“When you install the Viber App and register on the Site, you will be asked to provide us with your phone number and to allow us access to your mobile device’s address book (collectively, “Personal Information”). Have a look at their privacy policy here. When you click “Ok” it returns you back to the previous screen which is giving you a choice of “don’t allow” that they won’t accept! So to install this app you MUST allow them to save your entire address book contacts on their servers. I clicked “Don’t Allow” and then it prompted this… Here’s a screenshot of what you are prompted with on first install… Legal? Well for one thing the Israeli founded company is registered in Cyprus, where a lot of online gambling companies register.
VIBER OUT CALL TO ISRAEL ANDROID
When you first install Viber on your iPhone or Android it will prompt you to allow access your address book, if allowed Viber not only saves your phone number and details but they ALSO saves the phone numbers and contact info of all your contacts! This is without the knowledge of those on your contact list. To investigate I installed it today and within a few seconds I discovered a lot of alarming stuff about how they gather everyone’s contact info and I do mean everyone. I even checked Google Play on my Android (it has a very handy list of ALL apps ever installed on your Android) and Viber was no where to be found! So my question, where & how did they get “my” contact info and why am I listed as a “Viber” when I’ve never even heard of the app!? I was like, “what?!” How is that possible and we tried calling my listed Viber contact to see what if anything would ring. Recently (original article 2013), I became aware of Viber only because my wife used it to talk to her sister and on her smartphone it showed me already listed as a Viber user. What about yours? Find out now and see why this is important. 81% of all smartphones are powered by Linux. Keep tabs on the ever changing privacy policy. Its up to each user if this is ok or not. Viber continues to scan and also save your contacts’ phone numbers from your address book on their servers.
However, unlike other apps, which only scan your contacts. Update: Over the past couple of months Viber has been modifying their privacy policy to help increase user confidence.
