1. [R4] Rakuten Viber Messenger 1/5 · US Forced AI no opt out: I used to love Viber however I am deleting my account permanently due to the forced ChatGPT integration and lack of a privacy opt-out switch. Not cool Viber and Apple! I won’t have you hold me hostage.
2. [R7] Rakuten Viber Messenger 2/5 · US NO ChatGPT !!!!!!: Stop adding junk that doesn't at all need to be in Viber!!!!! The stupid Business Thread that no one asked for that you can't delete, and now ChatGPT ??? you will lose so many customers to Telegram or other inedible chat/video apps
3. [R13] Rakuten Viber Messenger 1/5 · US Ok: Don’t ask about Chat GPT!! 0 interest!! Not interested!! Remove that Chat GPT! Stop showing it ! 😡😡
4. [R16] Rakuten Viber Messenger 1/5 · US Forced ChatGPT feature: Viber added a ChatGPT feature that I do not need and do not want to use and did not provide an opt out option.
5. [R1] Rakuten Viber Messenger 1/5 · US Problem with the app: When i write my number I only get phone option.. there’s no sms option and the phones options isn’t working
6. [R3] Rakuten Viber Messenger 3/5 · US Deleted Viber just now: With the new update it would not open anymore without agreeing to all terms and entering new info. I deleted it. Not a big loss. There are other apps that do better.
7. [R10] Rakuten Viber Messenger 2/5 · US Could not login: Once downloaded the application however always popping up the notification saying that there was no connection , I have both cellular data and WiFi connected, I don’t know why that could be happened

9. [R6] Rakuten Viber Messenger 3/5 · US Still the old interface!!: Please make it in liquid glass!!!
10. [R18] Rakuten Viber Messenger 3/5 · GB Story and screen-share: It’s great for keeping contacts and simple, but having a story and being able to screen-share with someone you’re on call with would make it wayyy better.
11. [R21] Rakuten Viber Messenger 3/5 · GB Living in 2006!: You have to delete peoples chat one by one manually. So if you have 100 chats and want to delete for example 90 of them because they are not important then it will take you half an hour because Viber doesn’t have the feature of selecting multiple chats and delete them at once! Just another reason why people prefers WhatsApp!
12. [R25] Rakuten Viber Messenger 4/5 · US Good app: I'd like to see a feature where you can add music to your profile and post stories. Overall, I like the app and have been using it for a long time. I really need these features mentioned above. Please add them. · translated

23. [R92] Snapchat 4/5 · US What I think they should add: I’ve been using Snapchat for a while. I really like the bitmoji stuff.

In order for the bank to unblock my card I needed to call customer service. Being international, I had a different SIM card and couldn’t call international to my American bank. Searching through Reddit, I found this app after trying about 5 others. I was panicking at this point having no money, but th
