Setting up Viber on your tablet or iPad has several potential benefits, depending on your individual needs and usage patterns.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to set up Viber on your device, ensuring you’re ready to chat in no time.
Benefits of Using Viber on Your Tablet or iPad
Larger screen: The larger screen on iPads and tablets provides a more immersive experience for video calls and makes messages easier to read. You can watch media, including videos and photos, with more clarity than on a phone’s smaller screen.
Multitasking: iPads and tablets enable you to multitask using Viber together with other apps. On iPads, Slide Over and Split View features enable you to chat on Viber while you surf, work, or watch movies. You can drag and drop messages, links, or photos into Viber chats (iOS 11 and later).
Multiple device flexibility: With Viber, you’re able to synchronize your account from one device to another, which means you’re able to answer calls or see messages on your tablet when your phone is inaccessible or inconvenient. This is best for staying connected while on the move.
High-quality calls: ETablets usually have bigger speakers and improved microphones, which can enhance audio and video call quality. This renders the conversation clearer, particularly in group calls or during noisy conditions. ok ok ok
