Invasive Translation Popups & Severe ChatGPT Data Privacy Concerns

The continuous popups asking to translate every single message have completely ruined the user experience. Even worse is the massive privacy concern: Viber’s translation features are powered by third-party AI models like ChatGPT.
When translation prompts constantly push text to external services, it raises major red flags about private chat access, data exposure, and third-party data processing. Viber's core selling point was end-to-end encryption, but forcing third-party AI tools into private conversations destroys user trust. 
Give us an option in settings to disable AI translations completely. Until users get full control over their privacy and UI, this app stays at 1 star.

Ужас

какого черта удаляются вся история чатов если зашел с нового устройства?! на дворе 2026 год а эту проблему исправить не можете

Bad idea

To put chat GPT in Viber. It can't be turned off .You broke the app.

They will charge you for a subscription that you cannot cancel

They keep charging me $6 a month for a subscription that is impossible to cancel. Support says I have to cancel through the app store, but the subscription is not visible in the app store. When I mention this to them, they just say "Cancel it in the app store". They will take $6 from you against your will for years and there's nothing you can do about it.

Setup problem

A first it seems like an app that is the same as Messenger or WhatsApp, however right afterI tried to set up my account, I have run into the problem of it not accepting my valid number, used till the present day. It is needed for them to be able to give me a free call, and then type the last 4 digits of that caller as an activation code-and even though I have contacted the Help Service right away, they answered with a code to be sent to me which did not arrive either. I am now to wait 12 hours before trying again.
