Just a couple of decades ago, many people had a notebook with phone numbers, postal addresses and other notes on hand. Nowadays, messengers are successfully replacing their paper counterpart.
The necessary information can be saved on any device on which the service is installed. You can record the details of your interlocutor different ways, but there are some subtleties to keep in mind when working with this function.
How to find out if a user has Viber
You can find out about this in person or through friends, or look for data on social networks. However, there is another option - use the messenger address book. You need to turn it on, go to the “Contacts” section, carefully look at the “All” tab.
Purple icons of a video camera and a handset next to the name indicate that the person is already using the utility. If there are no icons, the subscriber has not yet installed the program. You can invite him to Viber by clicking on the corresponding word to the right of his name. The system will prompt you to send a message inviting you to install the application.
Adding a new contact
A frequent case is when the right person uses the messenger, but you don’t have the number. Add the contact to your Viber address book and communicate directly.
Turn on the program, tap the “More” button, open your account profile. Pay attention to the green “Add Contact” symbol. Clicking on it brings up a window with the ability to enter a phone number and save it.
On an Android phone
Smartphones on the Android platform are the most common in Russian market. Installing and registering the application does not depend on what brand your device is: Lenovo, Meizu or Samsung. The main requirement is a work SIM card to which the account is linked.
Activating it starts with identifying your country, entering the correct registration number and requesting to use your device data. After completing all the proposed steps, you can manage the program and add a contact to Viber.
When you start it for the first time after installation, the service will ask for permission to access telephone numbers. This is necessary for automatic synchronization between the device and the service.
If permission was accidentally denied, access to the address book is granted through the smartphone settings. Let's take any Android-based gadget (Lenovo, Honor, Samsung). You can debug the desired option through the system configuration: “Permissions” – “Contacts” – switch the slider to the on position. Or by selecting “All applications” - “Viber”, then follow the same procedure.
Through the “Contacts” menu in the messenger
Once on the Home screen, select the middle Call button to go to the section with your address book and recently made voice and video calls. Please note that “All” are all the numbers that are on the smartphone, “Viber” are only those whose owners use the program.
“Invite” – this button is needed to send an invite link or SMS on your behalf with an offer to join Viber.
Allows you to add data and a dialer designed as a circle with dots. Clicking on it launches the digital dial. Enter the numbers, match results will appear at the top, ignore them.
The number must be dialed in full, click on the line that appears below it, select “Continue”, then “Done”. You can change information by going back to the last action.
Using a QR scanner
To add a number to Viber using this function, the respondent must be physically present.
The code must be created from the profile page. A pictogram with the corresponding picture is located at the top right above the photo. Touching it opens the scanning window, below it will be the inscription “My QR code”. After clicking on it, an image will appear on the screen. It must be scanned by the person you want to connect to the conversation from your running application.
The option is called up in the same way, from the main menu, by clicking “More” and the scanner icon. Your barcode is placed in the center of the square, which is automatically read by the utility.
You will see a tab with information about the added interlocutor.
Via chat
When a call comes in or a message comes from a number that is not in notebook, the system sends a notification about this.
“Add to contacts”, “This is spam”, “Block” - these three messages are at the top of the dialogue. The data will be saved when the appropriate line is selected.
On iPhone
iPhone and iPad owners enjoy the same features provided on other platforms. This is not surprising, because the utility was originally written specifically for this operating system.
Synchronization with phone book
This method involves the least amount of manipulation. One of the advantages of Apple products is automatic contact synchronization.
The service pulls up the information immediately upon registration. When you launch it for the first time, you will see three icons. The middle one is intended for performing actions with the subscriber sheet.
Via the “Contacts” menu in Viber
The “Calls” section of the iPhone and iPad differs from similar versions of the client in that the symbols for creating a new entry and dialing a number are located at the top in opposite corners.
After clicking on the first icon, the function of adding a number will open, below there will be a scanner for barcode recognition. Tap “Continue” and fill out the fields provided, save by tapping “Done” or the checkboxes at the top right.
The dialer is most often used to search for existing chats. He will help you add a contact in Viber and enter new information. Click the icon and enter the numbers using on-screen keyboard. The line “+Add to contacts” will appear below, click on it and repeat the same steps as described above.
Using a QR scanner
In order to create new entry, the interlocutor must be next to you.
- Open your profile.
- Call the scanner by touching the icon.
- Click “My QR code”.
- Your friend must run a scanner on his gadget to read the generated code.
- The received data will be displayed on your screen.
Via chat
If they call or write from an unfamiliar number that is not in your book, then at the beginning of the dialogue you will see a warning. It will notify you that the sender is not in the database and display three lines on the screen. This notification remains until you make an entry in the application book or block it. Click "Add to Contacts", save the user.
On the computer
Computers and laptops do not have features to save contacts directly. All data is received from the main device after synchronization with it. A new respondent will appear in the Windows version only after adding it on the mobile platform.
The digital dialing option will help you start a dialogue with a new subscriber or make calls, but you won’t be able to record a number with it.
Detailed instructions can be seen in the video:
New user verification
End-to-end encryption protects data from leakage. Identity confirmation is another step for secure communication with real person, and not an invisible fake or bot. During verification, a mutual comparison of the cipher key occurs.
Chat with the person and make sure that this is the person you know.
For the confirmation process, do the following:
- Tap the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the chat, click “Information”, open the menu tab (you can do the same by swiping from right to left).
- Launch "".
- Make a free call, click on the lock button that appears. The secret key will be shown in a pop-up window.
- Check the code against your respondent's numbers. If they match, confirm it; if not, cancel the action.
- Verification was successful - the lock should glow green.
You should clear the protection along the following path: “More” - “Settings” - “Privacy” - “Clear verified contacts”.
How to remove doubles
The reason that double numbers appear in the subscriber list is usually that they are stored in two places.
Often, contacts are saved both on the SIM card and in the gadget. “Viber” does not miss a single such entry and will transfer them all into its memory.
Data located in the second messenger can also be duplicated.
To troubleshoot problems, start by working with the phone book. Go to its settings and debug the display: only from the device (“Phone”, “Tablet”) or from SIM.
Try to delete data from the SIM card, but do not forget to transfer all the necessary data to the device in advance. The remaining ones will not be duplicated and this may be enough for normal operation.
Manually deleting all duplicates is a longer way, but no less reliable in terms of results.
Returning a contact from the blacklist
Sometimes cooling in a relationship or misunderstanding leads to the fact that all connections are deliberately cut off, and data is hidden and sent to blocking. After some time, you can return communication to its previous course.
What to do then with a blocked number?
No need to worry, you can bring it back from hidden as follows:
- From the main screen, go to the “More” tab and go to your profile settings.
- Next, go to the “Confidentiality” section.
- Select "Blocked numbers".
- Find the contact in the suggested results and click “Unblock”.
After these actions, the respondent will regain his rights and will again have the opportunity to write a message and call you.
How to invite someone to a group
First, find out if you have the right to invite guests to the community. Often this is only allowed to administrators; sometimes this issue is put to a vote among group members.
When there is no such restriction, calling any person or sending her an invitation will not be difficult.
Go to the desired group. The title line will contain several characters. You will need a medium one, with a human figure and plus size. Click on it to open the list and click on the contact to add a new member to the community.
Important: in a group or community only an administrator or super-admin can. Ordinary users can be excluded from the chat and blacklisted for this.
If you have problems
Sometimes messenger clients encounter some difficulties. The most common of them is data disappearing from the notebook.
If the number you need is not found, but you know for sure that it exists, try this:
- refresh by pulling the screen down;
- set the mode for displaying contacts only from Viber;
- delete the entry from the phone book, then save it again;
- reboot the device.
You can also reset the utility configuration through “More” - “Settings” - “General” or wait for the version update.
As you can see, on any of the operating systems presented by the developers, adding new contacts occurs in a few simple actions. Once you complete them, you can immediately start communicating or making calls. Our advice: do not ignore the synchronization request, this will make it much easier for a new subscriber to appear in your lists.
Anyone who already uses the popular messenger knows perfectly well that all contacts that are in the phone’s address book are automatically added to the messenger’s contacts. And this is largely why Viber has become so popular, because it is not possible to install this messenger, although it is possible. But registering without a phone number is completely impossible.
But, despite this, Viber for PC can be downloaded for any operating system.
And sometimes, we need to find a certain contact in Viber, but it is not included in the phone book, and if such a situation arises, difficulties may arise. And now we will try to resolve this issue.
How to add a Viber contact on a smartphone?
In principle, there are no problems in adding a contact, but sometimes it becomes difficult to find that very “Add contact” menu item. The easiest way is to go to contacts and a circle will appear at the bottom of the screen. (shown in the picture)
Next, the application will take you to a page where you can enter a phone number in international format, i.e. in the form of +380..., because without a plus sign at the beginning of the number the application does not want to search, and even if you are sure that this subscriber is on Viber, you will still be asked to invite him. Therefore, we enter the number in full. After entering the number, click continue.
If this subscriber is already registered in this messenger, then his contact will appear and you just need to press the key - you’re done. If he is not in this system, then you will be asked to invite him.
How to add a Viber contact from Windows version?
But here everything is much more complicated, because in the desktop version you can save new contact you can't, because the developers were most likely too lazy to do this. The maximum you can do with the Windows version is to create a conversation and write to this new subscriber.
How to write to a user on Viber who is not in the phone book?
Here, on the one hand, everything is simpler, but still usability to this messenger lacks. To add, click show dialer and enter the phone number, again in international format. Below the dialer, click the button to write a message and enjoy the conversation.
After such manipulation, this contact in mobile version will appear in chats, and at the beginning of the conversation there will be a standard message “This number is not in your contacts list.” And select “Add” “Block”.
But it’s still quite difficult to do without a mobile version.
Life constantly brings us new acquaintances. And brings back the old ones, long forgotten. There is a constant cycle in the phone book: we write someone down, we cross out someone. And today, when instant messengers are so popular, the same thing happens in them. This article will talk about how to add a new friend’s contact to Viber on your phone, computer and tablet.
How to add a contact in Viber on your phone
So, you met a new person or met an old friend with whom you had long lost contact. You plan to continue communication via messenger, so you need to add new number. It is not difficult:
- Go to settings.
- Check the box next to “Show all contacts”.
- If you want the number to be saved in the phone book, check the “Synchronize contacts” checkbox.
- Go to the menu. On Android this is a swipe movement from left to right; on an iPhone you can find the menu at the bottom of the screen by clicking on the three dots.
- At the bottom of the screen is the “Add” button. Press.
- The system will offer two actions to choose from: enter a phone number or scan a QR code. If a friend is standing next to you and his phone supports this function, you can select scanning. If not, enter the number.
Click "Continue".
After completing the procedure, information about the new user will appear on the screen. If necessary, you can supplement it at your discretion. Some other devices allow you to change data for saving on Sim and Viber. For example, on Sim it will be “Vasya”, and on Viber it will be “Vasily”.
How to add a contact in Viber on a computer
Today it is rare that the messenger is used only on the phone. Usually we install it on a desktop PC. Data is synchronized, so information in applications installed on different devices will be identical.
Contact lists, chat history, blocking section - everything is the same. But: Viber was originally intended for use on mobile devices, and therefore some of the functionality in programs adapted for desktop computers and laptops is not available.
Until recently, it was not possible to even change an avatar without using a phone. She only appeared with latest update. But you still cannot edit your contact list. That’s why the query “I can’t add a contact to Viber on my computer” is so often typed. You can only delete or add friends using your phone.
How to add a contact to Viber on a tablet
This is the third device where the messenger can be installed. A convenient thing, especially on the road: the possibilities are wider and the screen is larger than a smartphone, but at the same time, smaller than a laptop. Therefore, using Viber here is logical. Concerning functionality, then it all depends on the device model.
- Working on the principle of a telephone, with a SIM and the ability to make calls. The application is identical to that installed on mobile devices. Therefore, you can use the instructions given above.
- Other models. To edit your friends lists, you will have to use your smartphone.
Adding friends to chat in Viber
Users from Ukraine, Russia and any other country in the world can create group conversations in Viber with almost no restrictions. To add a person to a chat in Viber, you need to click on the “+” icon in the list of available subscribers, and then select the users for the conversation. A separate question is how to add a contact to a Viber chat if a group for communication has already been created. To do this, you need to select the function with adding other users in the settings, and then specify new participants.
Modern mobile devices full of different abilities and skills. Many of them appear after installing specific applications. One of the most useful and popular today is, which is used by more than 200 million people around the world. This program has several proprietary features that make working with it very convenient and in some ways even unique. The main one is complete synchronization of your phone book contacts with the Viber database. Moreover, the system will automatically determine which of your friends have already installed the application and who have not yet, and mark the first with the appropriate icon. However, despite all the simplicity, many users have a question: “How to add a contact to Viber?” And, indeed, it is quite natural and fair. After all, sometimes there is a need to add a new person to your address book. Next we will look at two main ways of adding.

Work in Viber
The first case uses the program itself. That is, the addition occurs using the messenger. To do this, you need to open the Viber main menu and click on the gray man icon. You will see a complete list of people who use the program and are in your contacts. Next, you should find a button with a “+” image in the lower left part of the screen. She is the one who causes extra menu and allows you to add a new contact. Here Viber will prompt you to fill out the important fields of name, phone number, as well as a photo of the new subscriber. Once all the actions are completed, click the checkmark, or “save”, and another contact appears in your list.
Working with the phone
But there is another, simpler option. However, in very rare cases it may not work. It is enough to add a new contact to the regular phone book of your smartphone. Viber itself will scan the changes and determine whether the subscriber is a user of the system.
If a person really uses Viber, but it doesn’t appear in your list, try updating your contacts. If this does not help, uninstall Viber and install it again. You can also try rebooting the device and checking the list again. One of the options will definitely help you.
- Go to settings.
Click "Continue".
Users from Ukraine, Russia and any other country in the world can create group conversations in Viber with almost no restrictions. To add a person to a chat in Viber, you need to click on the “+” icon in the list of available subscribers, and then select the users for the conversation. A separate question is how to add a contact to a Viber chat if a group for communication has already been created. To do this, you need to select the function with adding other users in the settings, and then specify new participants.
In order to add new contact, you must first go into the application itself and find an icon that will depict the silhouette of a gray man. You need to tap on it and you will see the full list of contacts that is in the phone book. To add him to Viber, you can search in this most complete list of contacts by scrolling or using the magnifying glass icon. This symbol is located in the lower left corner of the window. In the same way, you can add people by phone number who you didn’t have in your contacts before - just enter the desired phone number in the drop-down box.
Instructions for adding a contact to Viber
We invite you to read the instructions for adding new contacts. First of all, you need to know that Viber has several modes for viewing contacts. For example, there is an option “Show all contacts” - it displays absolutely all the phone numbers that are in your phone book and there is no filtering by whether the user has or does not have the Viber application. This option can be disabled by unchecking the box, and then you will see in your contacts list only those friends who have the application and with whom you can contact for free right now.
To add a new friend to Viber, you need to go to the menu and select “Add contact”. It’s even easier to add the desired number not to Viber, but to your phone book. After a couple of seconds, the system will recognize that this person also has Viber installed and will automatically add him to the contact list within the application. True, this only works if the Viber being added is set to operating Android system, Windows or iOS.
Problems adding contacts
Sometimes problems can arise when adding a contact, and below we will tell you how you can fix some of them. So if you can't find desired contact, but he definitely has Viber, try the following:
- Open the “Display only contacts from Viber” mode;
- Pull the screen down - this will refresh the contact list;
- If all else fails, try removing the user's phone number from the phone book and then adding it again.
After adding a new user in the phone book, a purple icon appears next to his name - this means that the user uses Viber and can be called in two different ways.
If the problem is not solved, then find the “default settings” item in the menu and select it. Then reboot mobile phone and see if the problem goes away. In the worst case, you will have to reinstall Viber for iOS.
Any messenger, even one as functional as Viber, without the ability to access the names and identifiers of other service participants to transmit information to them, would turn into a practically useless software tool. Therefore, the first action that is usually performed by users after activating an account is filling in the phone book integrated into the client application service. Let's look at how to add contacts to the list available from Viber for different operating systems.
In reality, since "Contacts" are one of the main modules of the messenger; the list of entries is actually replenished in automatic mode and requires a minimum number of actions from the user. This approach is implemented in all three versions of the Viber client, discussed below: for, and.
Those users who are looking for ways to add contacts when using service client applications for different platforms, after reading the instructions below, you will be able to make sure that the principle of the operation is almost the same in all operating systems. The differences in performing specific steps are mainly due to the different design of the messenger interface.
Android
Method 1: Synchronization with Android phone book
Among the features of the module's functioning "Contacts" Viber should highlight the possibility of its close interaction with the Android component of the same name. By default, the mobile OS phone book and the list of other people's names/IDs available from the messenger are synchronized. In other words, if you save the name and mobile number the desired person via Android, this recording will be available in Viber, and vice versa.
When, after launching the client application of the information exchange service and going to the tab "Contacts" records are not detected, it can be stated that the program does not have access to to the required module in Android. This means that the corresponding permission was not given to the messenger when it was first launched, or the ban was imposed subsequently. To eliminate factors that impede synchronization, do the following:
Of course, the possibilities for adding contacts to the messenger are not limited to synchronization alone. At any time, without leaving Viber, you can create a new entry in the phone book. There are several options available here.
iOS
Working with user contacts, just like on other platforms, is almost completely automated, and all the steps that need to be taken to add new entries to the messenger are simple and logical. After registering an account in Viber, there are several options for saving the data of another service member to your list of those available for transferring information.
Method 1: Sync with iOS Phone Book
Viber for iOS interacts quite closely with the components of the operating system and, in general, the user very rarely has to think about how to add an entry to "Contacts" messenger, because most identifiers appear there automatically as a result of synchronization with the iPhone phone book.
In other words, to be able to exchange information with another person via Viber, in general we simply save his name and mobile number in "Contacts" iOS. If synchronization does not work, that is, the list of identifiers in the client application is empty, despite the fact that the iPhone phone book has been created, do the following.
Those individuals who are not yet registered in the information exchange service can be sent an SMS with an invitation to join the system and a link to download client applications for different platforms. To send such a message, tap the corresponding button next to the subscriber’s name.
Method 2: Messenger Toolkit
In order to save the data of another service member to the Viber phone book without leaving the messenger, you can use several tools that function even if synchronization with "Contacts" iOS.
Windows
As you know, the client is, in fact, a “mirror” of an application installed on an Android or iOS device, that is, it cannot function autonomously. This factor determines that there is only one way to add entries to the phone book of a messenger operating in Windows environment– synchronization with Viber on a smartphone or tablet.
Despite the fact that saving data of other Viber members in "Contacts" through Viber app is impossible for a computer, exchanging messages and other information with these people is possible. To send a text message or make an audio call to a person who is not in the Viber phone book, you need to:
As you can see, on any OS there are no particular difficulties when saving information about individuals registered in the Viber service to the list available from the messenger. As a recommendation, we can suggest adding identifiers and names to "Contacts" Android or iOS and do not interfere with the service client application’s access to the phone book mobile device. With this approach, solving the problem described in the article will not cause any trouble.
Many users today choose Viber as their main messenger. It is quite convenient and allows you to make free calls and send messages to all people added to your phone book. You can also send your location and stickers to other users, play games with them, etc. The main thing is that they also have Account in Viber.
If the user is not in the messenger, the application allows you to invite him. Once he installs the application, he will be able to communicate.
And when you try to send a message to a user who has deleted Viber, you will receive a notification that the messenger is no longer installed for this contact.
How to add contacts?
Everything is clear with numbers from the phone book - they are pulled up automatically. But what if you want to chat on Viber with a person who is not in your phone book?
Adding manually
Step-by-step instruction for adding people to Viber looks like this:
1. Launch the messenger.
2. Open the menu and click on the “Add contact” button. She looks like a little man with a plus sign on the left.
3. Then, using the phone keypad, enter the subscriber's number in the special field.
4. Click the "Done" button.
After this, you will be able to freely communicate on Viber with the owner of the number.
Adding using a QR code
There is another way to add people to Viber without bypassing the phone book - this is a QR code. It saves a lot of time, but it only works if the user you want to communicate with via messenger is nearby. For this method to work, the latter needs to open his QR code in Viber, and you scan it.
In this case, the instructions will be as follows.
1. You duplicate the first 2 steps from the previous instructions, that is, launch the messenger, go to the main menu, and then to the submenu of adding a contact.
2. Your friend should then open their QR code in the app. To do this, you need to click on the “Select QR code” button in the main menu, after which a page will open from which you can read information.
3. In the submenu for adding a contact, click on the “Scan QR code” button and bring your device to the other user’s device. Now you need to wait until the data is processed and the number is saved in the application memory. As soon as this happens, you can start communicating.
New contacts are not displayed - what should I do?
After adding a new user, you need to check whether he appears in the list. There are bugs due to which it may not be visible. If this happens, reboot your device.
If rebooting doesn't help, check if there are any updates for the messenger. The error may occur because your device is not running the latest version. In this case it is necessary.
If this doesn't help, just reinstall Viber.
Most often, one of these actions helps solve the problem, and the necessary contact appears.
Problems syncing contacts
However, problems with adding new friends are far from the only bug that you can encounter in the messenger. Sometimes the user does not see contacts in the messenger at all, which means he is not able to make calls and receive messages. This means that the application has somehow lost contact with the phone’s address book; in other words, synchronization has gone wrong.
What actions can be taken if all or part of the numbers are missing?
- Check your Internet access. Your device may be having trouble receiving a 3G, 4G, or WiFi signal. Without a normal Internet connection, the messenger does not synchronize data.
- Update the app's contact list. To do this, pull the screen down and then release.
- Check in your device settings which contacts are displayed in Viber. To do this, select “All contacts”. For an iPhone, this path looks like this: “Settings – Mail, addresses, calendars – Import SIM contacts.”
- Try removing from address book phone number and add back the number of the person you communicated with on Viber. If it then appears in the messenger contact list, it means synchronization has occurred.
- Check whether the numbers are recorded correctly in the phone book. The correct entry is in the format +3ХХХХХХХХХХ (that is, country code, operator code, number).
- Reboot your phone.
If none of the above methods worked, simply uninstall the app and reinstall it.
Another synchronization problem is faced by those who use both the mobile and web versions of the application. The version of Viber installed on your computer may not display the most recently added friends. In this case, you can also check your Internet connection, restart the program, restart your computer, or uninstall and reinstall the web version of the application.
Blacklist management
Viber also has the ability to blacklist people, that is, block them. If you block someone from your contact list, you will no longer receive messages or calls from them.
A user sent to the blacklist will not receive any notifications, that is, he will still be able to write messages, they just won’t reach you. In this case, blocked users will be able to see your profile, view your status and add you to groups. If you use the web version of the app, they can even make calls to your computer or tablet.
As for the message history, it is not deleted after blocking the user. Both you and the person sent to the blacklist will have access to it. If you want to get rid of history, you will have to do it manually.
How to block a contact?
If a user is not added to your address book and sends you messages (usually spam from an unfamiliar number), the application automatically sends a notification: “This number is not in your contacts list.” Next to it there are 2 buttons: “Add” and “Block”. By clicking on the latter, you can rid yourself of unwanted messages - the contact will be blocked.
The second method allows you to block those who are in your phone book. To do this, you need to get in touch and open the menu. Among other options, there will be a “Block” option.
Unblocking a contact
If you want to bring back a blacklisted user, there is always the option to unblock him. To do this, you need to open the “Advanced settings” item in the main menu and follow the route “Settings - Privacy - List of blocked numbers”.
In this list you need to find the person you want to remove from the ban and click on the “Unblock” button. But if the user sent you messages while blocked, they will not be restored.
A Viber user can manage his contact list quite easily. All operations with contacts in the messenger are built on the principle of maximum simplicity and convenience. Sometimes problems with synchronization may arise, but their solution does not require a complex sequence of actions.
A distinctive feature of Viber from similar programs is that it can be installed not only on mobile devices, but also on desktop computers. To do this, you need to download the installation files and run them on your PC. The application will prompt you to enter a phone number, which will receive a personal code that allows you to activate the program.
After the installation is complete, you can safely open the application and work in it without using a smartphone. It can synchronize with several devices at once. For example, if a smartphone and computer are turned on at the same time, then messages arriving on one of the gadgets will be displayed on the other.
Immediately after installing the messenger, the question of how to add a contact in Viber on your computer will not arise. The list of subscribers using Viber will be transferred to the desktop version of the application automatically. Messenger for computer has limited functionality. You won't be able to add contacts or manage privacy settings. This is done in a smartphone, the parameters of which will be synchronized with the PC.

If the computer is turned off, messages received and sent from the mobile device will not subsequently appear on it. However, with contacts the opposite is true. Even when the PC is turned off, the numbers entered in the smartphone’s phone book will then appear in the desktop version of the messenger.
Viber for computer is easy to install and has many features. It has voice communication and the ability to make video calls. This is the advantage of the application over its competitors. The developers have made sure that communication in the messenger is high-quality and reliable, regardless of what program services you use.

How to add a contact in Viber on a computer
Today it is rare that the messenger is used only on the phone. Usually we install it on a desktop PC. The data is synchronized, so the information in applications installed on different devices will be identical.
Contact lists, chat history, blocking section - everything is the same. But: Viber was originally intended for use on mobile devices, and therefore some of the functionality in programs adapted for desktop computers and laptops is not available.
Until recently, it was not possible to even change an avatar without using a phone. It only appeared with the latest update. But you still cannot edit your contact list. That’s why the query “I can’t add a contact to Viber on my computer” is so often typed. You can only delete or add friends using your phone.

How to add a new contact in Viber?
Anyone who already uses the popular messenger knows perfectly well that all contacts that are in the phone’s address book are automatically added to the messenger’s contacts. And this is largely why Viber has become so popular, because installing this messenger on a computer without a smartphone is quite difficult, although it is possible. But registering without a phone number is completely impossible.
But, despite this, Viber for PC can be downloaded for any operating system.
And sometimes, we need to find a certain contact in Viber, but it is not included in the phone book, and if such a situation arises, difficulties may arise. And now we will try to resolve this issue.
How to add a Viber contact on a smartphone?
In principle, there are no problems in adding a contact, but sometimes it becomes difficult to find that very “Add contact” menu item. The easiest way is to go to contacts and a circle will appear at the bottom of the screen. (shown in the picture)
Next, the application will take you to a page where you can enter a phone number in international format, i.e. in the form of +380..., because without a plus sign at the beginning of the number, the application does not want to search, and even if you are sure that this subscriber is on Viber, you will still be asked to invite him. Therefore, we enter the number in full. After entering the number, click continue.
If this subscriber is already registered in this messenger, then his contact will appear and you just need to press the key - you’re done. If he is not in this system, then you will be asked to invite him.

But it’s still quite difficult to do without a mobile version.
How to use Viber on a computer
Viber is a modern communication tool designed to be installed on your phone. However this application It also feels great on a computer, and sometimes running from a computer is much more convenient than from a smartphone (thanks to the presence of a full-fledged keyboard and when the user is often in front of a switched-on PC). Therefore, it is worth considering the features of the version of Viber designed for installation on a computer.
Custom contact list
When you launch the application on a PC, Viber contacts are synchronized with the user's phone book saved on his smartphone. As a result of synchronization, you will see two tabs in the contacts section:
- List of phone numbers and names of people who have already installed Viber.
- The entire list of contacts copied from the phone book.
Since registration in the application is carried out only through a mobile phone, the user’s installation of Viber immediately becomes known to all his friends who have already registered in this network. Additionally, you can notify your friends using a special mailing function.
Working with contacts on a computer is different from working with them on your smartphone. The computer version allows you to use Viber communication functions (calls and correspondence), but is very limited in the ability to customize the existing database. Since synchronization of contacts can only occur with the address book when the application is launched, all major changes are possible exclusively through the user’s smartphone.
For example, trying to figure out how to add a contact to Viber through a computer application, you are wasting your time. This function is not there. Adding can only be done via phone. The user only needs to add a new contact to the address book for it to appear in the Viber list (after restarting the application).
In the same way, you will not find a way to delete a contact until you delete it on your phone. But on a mobile device it can be done in two ways:
- directly in the list Viber contacts;
- through the phone book.
In the Viber list on your smartphone, you will also see how to rename a contact. To do this, you need to press and hold the contact you are editing in the application on your phone and select “Edit” in the menu that appears, after which you will be taken to the data editing mode in the address book. This feature is not available on the desktop app. Contacts in Viber are sorted exclusively in alphabetical order.
Correspondence capabilities
The user can send free messages from the computer to the Viber interlocutor. These can't be voice messages, but only text correspondence with the function of sending images. But the capabilities of Viber are not limited to the dialogue between two users. You can communicate as a couple or create a chat for several friends. In such a chat there are up to a hundred interlocutors who will be able to read the messages of all participants in the correspondence and fully participate in the general conversation. This function indispensable when discussing business issues or communicating with relatives.
The message sound is configured in the “Tools” menu and is set both for all notifications and for some of them. In addition to text, the user can send photos or any other images to the interlocutor, because Viber supports popular graphic formats: jpeg, jpg, png. The latter indicates that the chat is compatible with animated messages. To do this, you need to select a picture with animation in png format.
It doesn't matter whether you last chatted on your phone or on your computer, you'll be able to read your messages on your other device once it's synced. All messages will appear on your PC or smartphone application, where you can review them at a convenient time.
Calls and their types
Viber would be an incomplete application if it did not support voice communication. Calls via viber can be:
- free or paid;
- audio or video.
All of the listed types of voice communication are available when using Viber on a computer. Here you can communicate for free with members of the Viber network using or without a webcam, as well as make paid calls directly to a phone number outside the Viber network (this is done through the tab with the dialer). Group calls are not available in the desktop app, but all other features are voice communication are working properly. Also, you will not be able to change the incoming ringtone on your computer, so you will have to use the default ringtone in Viber.
If you don’t want to run the application via your smartphone or don’t find it convenient, its PC counterpart will perfectly replace mobile Viber. It is capable of performing the basic functions necessary for exchanging messages or calls, imposing restrictions only on Viber determining the location of a contact and the ability to edit the address book without using a phone.
