With Viber\u2019s feature, members can easily toggle the feature on and off within the chat itself.<\/p>\n<p>With the expanded functionality, Viber users can set messages in a group chat to disappear 10 seconds, one minute, one hour, or one day after being read, offering more options than with the disappearing message features of other apps. On devices using Android 6 or newer, Viber will completely disable forwarding, copying, or taking a screenshot of a message when the disappearing option is activated. For earlier versions of Android and all iOS users, group chat members will be automatically notified if any member takes a screenshot of a message set to disappear. The feature can be applied to any type of message, including photos and stickers.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you are appointed for your re-examination, the personal information sent to hospital customer service personnels in a group chat as a message set to disappear one minute after users have read the message.<\/p>\n<p>Personal and group chats on Viber are end-to-end encrypted, so users can be sure that their communications are always private and secure. The disappearing message feature is another example of Viber\u2019s commitment to offering a secure messaging app where users can be confident in the privacy of their conversations with individuals or groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to give Viber users the ultimate control when they\u2019re sending private messages either to an individual or a group,\u201d says Nadav Melnick, Vice President of Product for Rakuten Viber. \u201cPrivacy has long been a paramount concern for us, as evidenced by our unwavering adherence to end-to-end encryption. With this update, our commitment to privacy becomes even more personal for our users and the people they talk to most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Rakuten Viber<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rakuten Viber connects people.
