Viber offers default end-to-end encryption for one-on-one messages and calls, making it stronger than many mainstream alternatives. However, as a Rakuten subsidiary, its data practices warrant examination.
Zero-knowledge encryption. No phone number. Every conversation protected.
Viber uses default E2EE for one-on-one messages and calls. Group chats also have E2EE. Viber also offers disappearing messages and hidden chats. This puts it ahead of many competitors on encryption.
Despite encryption, Viber collects metadata including contacts, call logs, device information, and usage patterns. Rakuten uses this data across its e-commerce ecosystem for advertising and analytics.
Viber requires a phone number for registration, linking your identity to your account. This creates a single identifier that can be used to track you across services and shared with Rakuten's broader data ecosystem.
Viber's encryption is commendable but its metadata collection and phone number requirement weaken overall privacy. WeTalkin provides the same encryption plus zero-knowledge architecture with no phone number requirement.
