How to Know When Your Viber Message Has Been Read

Have you ever wondered if the person you messaged on Viber actually read your message? Well, I’m here to help you figure it out! Let’s dive into the exciting world of Viber message tracking.

First things first, let’s talk about those little message icons that appear next to your sent messages. When you send a message in Viber, you might notice a few different icons popping up. These icons hold the key to knowing if your message has been read or not.

The first icon you might see is the green checkmark. This means that your message was successfully sent to the recipient’s device. And while this is good news, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your message has been seen. It’s just a confirmation that it made its way to the other side.

Now, if you’re lucky, you might see that green checkmark turn into two gray checkmarks. This means that your message has been delivered to the recipient’s device and they have received it. But here’s the catch – it still doesn’t guarantee that they have actually read it. Frustrating, right?

But fear not, my friend! There is a way to know if your message has been read. And that’s when the magic happens – those two gray checkmarks turn into two blue checkmarks. Ah, the sweet satisfaction of knowing your message has been seen! Once you see those blue checkmarks, you can rest assured that your message has been read by the person you sent it to.

But wait, there’s more! Viber also lets you know the exact time when your message was seen. Just tap and hold on the message you sent, and a window will pop up showing you when it was read. This feature comes in handy when you’re anxiously waiting for a response and want to know exactly when they saw your message.

Now that you know the secret behind those Viber message icons, you can navigate the world of messaging with confidence. No more uncertainty, just clear indications of whether your message has been read or not. So go ahead, send that important message on Viber and keep an eye out for those blue checkmarks. Happy messaging!

Hey there! So, you know how on most social apps and messaging platforms, you can see if someone has read your message? Like on Messenger, you get that little ‘seen’ notification at the bottom of the chat when the person opens your message. And on WhatsApp, those two blue checkmarks mean your message has been read.

But what about Viber? Does it let you know when someone reads your message? Well, let’s find out how to tell if someone has read your message on Viber.

Does Viber Notify You When Someone Reads Your Message?

If you’ve used Viber before, you know it also has a ‘seen’ feature. But here’s the thing – it’s not there all the time when you chat with someone. That’s because Viber gives you the option to toggle it on or off, so you have more control over your in-app experience.

If you want to know if someone has read your Viber message, the first step is to make sure you have all the necessary options enabled.

How to Tell if Someone Read Your Message on Viber

When you’re messaging someone on Viber, you’ll see different icons that show the delivery status of your message.

Depending on the status, you’ll come across one checkmark, two checkmarks, or two purple checkmarks next to your message.

One checkmark: This means that the message you sent hasn’t been received by the recipient yet. As soon as you send it, this icon will pop up. Once it’s delivered, you’ll get a ‘delivered’ notification.

There are times when the message I send doesn’t show as ‘delivered,’ and I receive an alert if it fails to reach the recipient. There are a few possible reasons for this:

• If the recipient’s phone doesn’t have Internet access.
• If their phone is turned off.
• If they have removed the Viber app from their phone or if it is not functioning properly.

Two checkmarks: This symbol appears when the recipient receives my message on their phone. It means that my message has been delivered, but the recipient has not yet seen it.

Double purple checkmarks: This tells you that your message has been viewed. Once a Viber user takes a look at your message, the checkmarks will change to a vibrant purple color, and a message saying ‘seen’ will pop up at the bottom of your chat screen.

Hey there! So, you’re wondering how you can tell if someone has read your message on Viber. Well, it’s actually pretty simple. When your message is read, you’ll see two purple checkmarks and a ‘seen’ alert. This lets you know that your message has been read. But if you don’t see those two checkmarks, it’s likely that the person has blocked you on Viber.

How to Enable Read Receipts in Viber

If you or the person you’re messaging don’t have your online or seen status enabled, you won’t be able to tell if your message has been read. So, check if you’ve turned on this setting by following these steps:

On Android:

1. Open Viber and tap on the More icon in the bottom right corner.
2. Tap Settings and select Privacy.
3. Turn on the Send Seen status option.

On iPhone:

1. Open Viber and tap on the More icon in the bottom right corner.
2. Tap Settings and select Privacy.
3. Toggle on the Send Seen status switch.

If your seen status is turned on, you’ll receive ‘seen’ alerts at the bottom of your conversation.

If you’ve made sure that your read receipts are turned on but still don’t see notifications in certain conversations, it’s possible that your contacts have turned off their read receipts.

There isn’t much you can do if your friend has turned off their seen status, except politely ask them to turn it back on. Otherwise, you won’t see any read receipts when chatting with them.

Read Messages via Notifications

If the recipient has received your message but you didn’t get a ‘seen’ notification, it’s possible that they read your message through a notification. When users enable message previews in their notifications, they can read a part of your message without opening the Viber app. In this case, you won’t receive a ‘seen’ notification.

If you want to enable notifications, here’s what you should do:

On Android:

1. Open Viber and tap More.
2. Tap Settings and select Notifications.
3. Turn on the Show message preview option.

On iPhone:

1. Launch Viber and tap More.
2. Select Settings and tap on Notifications.
3. Switch on the Show message preview toggle.

Now, you’ll be able to see a part of the message without opening the app. This is useful if you want to keep your seen status enabled but don’t want to notify the sender right away.

Editing or Deleting a Message in Viber

You also have the option to edit or delete a message that you’ve sent. This can be helpful if you made a typo or accidentally shared something you didn’t mean to. Here’s how you can edit a message on Viber:

1. Launch Viber and go to the conversation.
2. Tap and hold the message you want to edit.
3. Select Edit.
4. Make your changes to the text.
5. Tap the checkmark to finish editing.
6. It will show that you edited the message.

To delete a message, follow these steps:

1. Tap and hold the message you want to delete.
2. Press the Delete option and tap the Delete button (recycle bin icon).
3. Choose Delete for Everyone.
4. It will show that You deleted a message.

Now, it should be easier for you to fix any typos or erase messages you didn’t mean to send. You can still edit or delete a message even after the receiver sees it. If you haven’t received a ‘seen’ status before editing or deleting the message, there’s a chance that the recipient didn’t see the original content. And don’t forget, there’s also a way to hide your chat in Viber.

Final Thoughts

Viber is a fantastic app for socializing and sharing content with your friends. Like any other messaging app, many Viber users want to know if they can see when someone reads their message.

Unfortunately, with all the options to customize your online and seen status in Viber, you can never be sure if a recipient actually didn’t see your message. Maybe they just didn’t toggle on their ‘seen’ status or saw the message through a notification preview. Don’t jump to conclusions based solely on the status.
