Many popular instant messengers have built-in functionality that users know practically nothing about. The creators of Viber told Lenta.ru about what unknown advanced settings Russians can use.
For example, if a user enters into correspondence with foreigners, he can translate the message from almost 30 languages. To do this, click on the correspondence element and select the “Translate” menu item, after which the translation will appear under the original message. Language selection is available in the same menu.
Viber also told you how to turn off the compression of sent photos and videos. “To send a file without compression, click the” More “button in the Viber application (three dots in the bottom right of the main panel under the chat feed) and go to the” Settings “section. After that, select “Multimedia” (if you have iOS) or “Data”, and then “Multimedia” (for Android), and then – “Photo quality”. There it is necessary to indicate the value “Excellent” instead of “Good” “, – advised the company.
In addition, the Russians were warned that photos and videos that users receive in chats are saved in the smartphone gallery by default. The creators of the messenger agree that this may not always be convenient: for example, if the user exchanges large volumes of multimedia files, and the smartphone's memory is limited.
“Automatic saving can be turned off,” the company notes. – Go to Viber settings, click on “Multimedia” and turn off the “Save to Gallery” function. After that, you can save the photo and video manually by clicking on the appropriate button. “
Other options that Viber developers suggest paying attention to are polls in group chats, adding stickers to photos, as well as audio and video calls.
Earlier, a chat bot appeared in the Viber messenger with detailed information about vaccinations and vaccines. With its help, you can select a specific point, see its work schedule and phone number, as well as build a route on the map.
