Viber

One of the applications best known among users to callfree love over the Internet is updates for both platform Android and mobileiPhone We are referring to Viber, a utility that allows you to make calls using the VoIP protocol of Internet, plus instant messagescompletely freeNow, in its recently released version 2.2, it adds new and useful improvements that bring this tool closer to the operation of other social networks , increasingly resembling WhatsApp

In particular, we found a long list of new features headed by the introduction of group messages Thus, in addition to being able to do it privately, we can send messages to groups of up to fifteen contacts , being able to discuss in the same way as in WhatsApp, together with other people. To do this, you just have to go to the messages tab, press the Compose button in the upper right corner, and add to the desired contacts. Or, if you prefer, add new members from an already created conversation.

The new customization possibility offered in Viber It is about establishing a background of screen for conversations In this way each conversation is unique. And it is that, unlike WhatsApp, in the version 2.2 of Viber it is possible to establish different backgrounds for each conversation To place these backgrounds you only have to access the settings button of a conversation and click on the option Background Here you can choose any image stored in the terminaland crop it to the desired size for framing conversations.

Regarding what has been said about the similarity with social networks, we found that Viber now offers a somewhat more complete user profile than our name and phone number.And, when we start Viber once updated, it is possible to add a visible photo and namefor all other contacts. Thus we have a much richer agenda that allows us to choose the user at a glance, in case the rest of the people have added their photo. Image that can also be seen in conversations, so you know who you are talking to at all times.

Also related to the section of messaging we find other novelties. These are functions that complete this section, providing additional information useful to the user. Thus, we see that now the messages are accompanied by the time of sending, to always know the time, in addition to the location , to find out from what place messages arrive.Finally, we must talk about the localization and translation of this tool to different countries such as Russia, China, Germany, France and, finally, Spain For what we have menus and buttons in correct Spanish

In short, an update that seems to focus this tool on social networks or, at least, to compete against some of them , like WhatsApp, which it now bears a strong resemblance to. Viberversion 2.2 is now available for Android and iPhone from the usual app markets: Google Play and App Store Left out of this update, at least for now, is the mobile version Windows Phone 7, which for now only serves to sendfree messages over the Internet and not to call
