Kathmandu: Rakuten Viber, one of the world’s most trusted communication platforms with over one billion downloads on Google Play Store, has been a household name in Nepal for more than a decade. The platform has enabled Nepalis to build meaningful connections, safely share precious moments with loved ones, manage business relationships, and pursue their passions all in one place.

In early 2024, Viber officially registered as a social media platform with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology to comply with Nepal’s Social Media Guidelines, 2023.

Prioritizing data privacy, Viber provides end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls, messaging, group chats, GIFs, file sharing, and device synchronization. As a super app, it goes beyond messaging and calling by offering services that simplify users’ daily lives. Through public channels, users also stay updated with celebrities, influencers, and brands.

As one of the first communication apps to launch in Nepal, Viber has consistently localized its services—introducing Nepali-language stickers and content making digital communication more personal and relatable.

Viber has also played a vital role in national crises. Following the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, it facilitated high-quality voice and video calls. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Viber partnered with the Ministry of Health to share critical updates on case numbers and hospital capacity and collaborated with the Nepal Police to ensure reliable communication with the public.
