This has been made known through the specialized medium TechCrunch, who affirms that this content store will be available coming soon thanks to a new update of the applications for the different platforms on which Viber is available. In this way, the user will be able to acquire new stickers and content through it, either through real payment or free download , according to the agreement of Viber with the brand or artist.
