By default, Viber offers a native method to back up messages via emailing them to yourself in zipped CSV files, which in most cases is useless.
I have started using Viber for desktop recently. It worked really fine until today. It has stopped sending messages and I cannot make any calls through Viber. A yellow exclamation mark appears on it and it says there is not internet connection. My laptop is connected to the internet and the internet works fine while browsing. Viber for Windows 10 – free application for making calls to friends all over the world and exchanging messages and pictures. This messenger favorably differentiates from such VoIP-giants like Line and WhatsApp. Differences of Viber from other messenger tools: in the first place, you don’t need to add contacts manually.
There’s a much better method that allows you to:
- backup your Viber message to a computer;
- save all photos and videos from your Viber conversation;
- select the conversations and message you’d like to transfer from Viber to computer.
Follow the quick tutorial below to safely back up Viber messages on PC in a form of the original conversations on the iPhone.
