Viber currently has around 100 million users and was only recently acquired by Rakuten for $900 million. The new iPhone version we released today will make it easier and more fun than ever before to stay connected,' Marco said.Īnother important addition is that users can now witness and see if the person they are corresponding with is currently typing, an option that had been available as well on Android apps and had been needed to maintain the company in what users' are expecting with similar apps. Our top priority is the enthusiastic community of users who rely on Viber every day to communicate with their friends, family, and important contacts. 'Taking our cue from the clean, flat look of iOS 7, we wanted Viber to feel like a completely seamless part of your device.

The idea was to move from what many analysts had said was an outdated and almost archaic feel to the look of the app into something more modern and crisp. Viber CEO Talmon Marco says that the iOS app 'has been redesigned from the start for simplicity and ease of use.'

The company seems pretty pleased with the update.
