Viber logo, Viber app, Viber for Android iPhone

At the end of July, Viber released a fun new doodle feature on Android devices, a feature that was released this month on iOS with version 3.1.

The app has already been issued an update that fixes a crash that some users had experienced when first launching the new Viber. The update also incorporates additional bux fixes alongside this one and should hopefully run a lot faster and smoother for Apple users.

The new update should make the Viber experience smoother for Apple users

Like other calling and messaging applications, Viber has been looking at introducing new features that will help it differentiate itself from the growing amount of competition. WeChat recently launched its social gaming platform while Tango launched its gaming platform back in June. Meanwhile, Kik has had games on its app for some time via Webkit-induced HTML5 cards like Squared.

Viber also launched stickers on its messaging platform last year, at least for iOS and Android. Windows Phone support was added last month.

Get the new and improved Viber here. Have you experienced any issues with the new update so far? Let us know in the comments.
