Sadly, that does not include Chrome OS because there isn’t a web client. In order to use Viber, you will have to install the Android or iPhone application, link your phone number and then, you can install the desktop client on your Mac, PC or Linux device and sync them with a QR Code. That’s not to say Viber isn’t cross-platform. I don’t know the reason for this but it is likely due to the fact that Viber prides itself as the “most secure” messenger on the planet. The one shortfall of Viber is that it does not offer a web-based interface like WhatsApp, Android Messages, Hangouts and the list goes on. You can chat with people on the Viber app or you can make calls that are referred to as “Viber Out” by adding money to your account balance and dialing just as you would with most applications. Where Viber stands out is its ability to make voice calls internationally for quite less than standard phone plans and calling cards. The app itself looks really inviting and it appears to offer similar features to WhatsApp and many other chat apps. What is Viber you ask? Yeah, I wasn’t exactly familiar with it either but over 1 billion people around the globe depend on Rakuten’s messaging platform for chat, calls and even video conferencing. Over the weekend, I received a message from a reader who was desperately trying to get Viber working on his Chromebook.
