Here are some of the more interesting Viber stats and facts I was able to dig up. As always, I will be adding to and updating these stats as I stumble across more.
Viber is quite possibly the largest chat/messaging app to fly completely under the radar here in the United States. Viber made headlines early in 2014 when Japanese ecommerce company Rakuten purchased it for close to a billion dollars, but things have been very quiet for Viber stateside since. It isn’t often that you can find an app with more than a billion users that you hardly hear anything about. Check out some of these crazy Viber stats that I was able to dig up recently. I get the feeling we will be hearing more about Viber in the future.
