Rakuten Viber, one of the world’s most trusted communication platforms with over a billion downloads on Google Play Store, has been a household name in Nepal for more than a decade, creating meaningful connections and enabling people to safely share precious moments with their families and friends, manage business relationships, and pursue their passions—all in one place.

Rakuten Viber Nepal Super App

Viber officially registered as a social media platform with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology in early 2024 to comply with local regulations. It followed the Government of Nepal’s Guidelines for Regulating Social Media, 2023.

With utmost priority to data privacy, the app features worldwide end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls, messaging, group chats, GIFs, file sharing, and device synchronization. As a super app, Viber goes beyond messaging and calling, offering services that meet users’ day-to-day needs and simplify their lives. Users also stay updated about celebrities, influencers, and brands within the platform through public channels.

Viber was one of the first communication apps to launch in Nepal and offers Nepali-language stickers and localized content to make digital communication more personal and relatable. It has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the Nepali people.

During national crises, Viber has played a vital role by providing high-quality voice and video calls after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, partnering with the Ministry of Health to share critical Covid-19 updates on case numbers and hospital capacity, and collaborating with Nepal Police to maintain communication with the public.
