Viber has finally added measures to encrypt app messages for Android and iOS so that hidden glances on the network can not see images, videos, and messages about the wider location of each user.
New version Android 4.3.1.21 , released on Tuesday , includes according to information :

Είμαστε σε ανάπτυξη επί του παρόντος θέματος σε ένα ασφαλές χαρακτηριστικό end-to-end secure call που θα κρυπτογραφήσει όλες τις κλήσεις"
