We don’t exactly have figures from the period between April and now considering platform market share for Viber, but the 500k/month figure seems to show promise not only for Viber on Windows Phone but Windows Phone in general.Īnd moreover, Viber seems to have no qualms about extending to platforms that are either dying or not leaders in market share. Though the Windows Phone 8 version of the app is specifically tailored for that platform, with live tile integration and native call screen support, the app only accounted for 2 percent of Viber’s user base back in April. Viber announced recently that it had surpassed the 200 million user mark, and has today revealed that over 500,000 users download the Windows Phone version of the app every month. And if that weren’t enough, Viber users on the Windows Phone platform and/or desktop will also receive group messaging with the update. Plus, users will be able to see who is “typing”, as well as enjoy better pop-up notifications and a revamped conversations list. Viber is also migrating stickers and emoticons to the platforms. This update brings integration with the Windows Phone app, to let users switch calls from their phone to the desktop and vice versa mid-call, just as iOS and Android users currently enjoy.īut it’s not only about communication. If you’ll recall, Viber launched a desktop version of the app back in May that let users message and take calls straight from their computer. Viber has just pushed an update to two of its newest versions of the app, Desktop and Windows Phone 8.
