Viber Wink is an extension for Viber that allows for temporary sharing of photos and videos.

Application Overview

Viber Wink is an add-on application for Viber, a popular instant messaging client. The application allows users to share images and videos that are available for viewing for only a brief period. This concept is similar to the functionality offered by Snapchat, but specifically tailored for use within the Viber environment.

Usage Requirements

To use Viber Wink, users must have the latest version of Viber installed on their device (version 5.7 or above). It's worth noting that without Viber installed, users can still take pictures and apply filters within Viber Wink, but they will not be able to share them.

Functionality and Features

Even though Viber Wink doesn't boast a wide array of options, it offers sufficient features for its intended purpose. Users are able to set the duration for which the shared image or video will be visible, with the minimum duration being three seconds. In addition to this, users can also include a brief caption to accompany the shared media.

Overall Assessment

Viber Wink is an intriguing extension for Viber that mimics the temporary media sharing features of Snapchat, without necessitating the installation of the latter. This makes it a valuable addition to Viber's already extensive array of instant messaging and VOIP functionalities.

  • Allows for temporary sharing of photos and videos within the Viber environment
