It’s been nine years since Viber Messenger launched and the app has been getting better ever since. Viber Messenger is one of the world’s first apps to introduce free VoIP services and this is why now it has a massive user base of almost one billion! The “secret” behind the chatting app’s success is that the developers are constantly taking its performances to the next level and adding new features by releasing software updates.
In fact, the reason why Viber Messenger is making headlines on our website today is because a brand-new update that sports the 13.1.0.4 version number has been made available for download. The new update is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels and today we are going to cover everything there is to know about it.
Viber Messenger 13.1.0.4 Update
We are advising all Viber Messenger fans to keep their smartphones connected to a stable Wi-Fi network because the update is going to pop-up in their notifications panel today. Alternatively, Viber Messenger fans can always choose to manually download and install the update in the form of APK (Android Package Kit).
What’s New?
As previously mentioned, the developers who are in charge of Viber Messenger are always looking for new ways to improve the chatting app’s performances. This is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise to find out that the new 13.1.0.4 release introduces a bundle of software tweaks and bug fixes that are tackling various issues.

Chat and Call with 100% Privacy
Thanks to end-to-end encryption, any type of information you share on Viber will always remain between yourself and the person you’re talking to. Any message you send makes its way from your device to the recipient’s in the form of an encrypted code that only their device can translate to plain text using an encryption key. Encryption keys exist only on user devices and nowhere else. So, no one — not even Viber — can read your messages.
