Viber is taking a leaf from Snapchat to launch an ephemeral messaging app called as Viber Wink. The standalone app allows users to send photo & video messages that disappear after they have been viewed.
Similar to any ephemeral messaging app, you will have to take a picture or video with Viber Wink and set a time limit for it and share via Viber. Once the recipient has seen your message it will disappear. Users have the option to set a timer for a message for 1 second, 3 seconds, 7 seconds, 12 seconds or No Time Limit. However, you can send these ephemeral Viber Wink messages only to a person who is there on Viber. You can even sending a Viber Wink message from inside the Viber app.
In addition to launching a standalone Viber Wink app, Viber has updated its own app with some additional features such as ability to see which of your friends have read your message. You can now choose how long your photos and videos are stored for and there is a new share menu that makes sharing more easy. Finally, there are design enhancements to introduction screens.
