Today, Viber is rolling out a brand new update that brings the ability to share short video messages with your friends list, as well as integrations with third-party services like Giphy and Wikipedia, and redesigned emoticons.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the most significant change. Now, with just a tap, you can record a 30 second video, which you can share with your friends list.<\/p>\n
The new feature is integrated into the chat window, and can be reached by swiping on the voice message button. But before you do, there\u2019s a couple of things to note. Namely, the videos are limited to thirty seconds, and are cropped into a circular shape. Unlike Snapchat, there\u2019s no expiration date.<\/p>\n
Viber also now boasts a range of integrations with third-party services. At launch, these will include Giphy, Wikipedia, and TheMovieDB (which I assume is a dollar store version of IMDB), as well as Viber Stickers. To access these, just type \u2018@\u2019 with the name of the service you\u2019re trying to access, like \u2018@stickers\u2019.<\/p>\n
Michael Shmilov, COO of Viber, said \u201cWith the addition of Chat Extensions, people can now access a variety of external services directly from their chat screen, search, and instantly share content with their friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, there\u2019s all new redesigned emoticons, which Viber says have been redesigned with a new flat design.<\/p>\n
All these features will be available on Android and iOS. To get at them, just update your app.<\/p>\n
