All of the people are concerned about their privacy. Many of us have even set the lock (pin, pattern, touch ID, face ID) to avoid unauthorized access on our phone. Sometimes our friends and family ask our phone to use but we don’t realize what they are doing with the phone. It‘s really annoying when they try to see the personal messages/chat in Viber while using our iOS or Android smartphone. There are some of the messages that we want to keep personal or hidden and never want anyone to see those messages in Viber.
Viber is a messaging app that all of us know and many of us even use this app. We all know that this messaging app doesn’t ask any log-in approval to enter into. Many of us even think this is good because we don’t have to enter the username and password again and again. But sometimes this easiness to open the Viber can lead us to a big problem. Today, I will show you How to Hide and Unhide message/chat in Viber on iOS and Android with the process to find hidden message/chat.

- In the current version of android app, it is not possible to un-hide a hidden chat. This ‘Unhide this chat’ option is missing under the : menu (note: there is no gear icon either).

- Hi, I’m trying to hide a conversation on my IPAD
- You wrote above that for iOS devices, swiping left will show Call, Hide and Delete options. But when I do that, I only see Call & Delete options. There’s no Hide option.
- Could it be that you’re using a newer version? If so, what version is this?
- Also, if my problem is a version issue, how come my IPAD doesn’t auto-update the Viber version?

- I have an hidden chat 3 years ago from now. I formated my iphone and now I receive notification when i got new message from this hidden chat, but i cannot access. It says that you dont have hidden message. Also when I go to settings to change the pin it does not allow me to change, because i ” dont have” any hidden message.
- I emphasize that i receive notification when i got new massege from this hidden message.
- Please tell me how can I access to this chat. I need it!
