Last Updated: December 12, 2022
Do you always enable auto-delete messages on your chats on Viber? Do you want to use the feature for all your new chats on the app? If that’s a yes, you can set a default self-destructing messages timer from the Privacy Settings on your account. Check our guide below, and we’ll show you how to navigate to the option to do so.
Tutorial
In Viber, users can toggle the disappearing messages feature on their chats. This option adds a timer to messages sent to the chat and deletes them after the set time passes.
Back then, you need to toggle the disappearing messages feature on each of your conversations on the app. As such, you’ll need to configure your chat options every time you start a new one on Viber.
Thankfully, the app has the option to enable the auto-delete messages feature for all new chats. Check our guide below, and we’ll show you all the steps you need to know to use this option on your account.
How to use disappearing messages for all new chats you start on Viber
If you want to set a self-destruct timer for all the new chats you start on Viber, you can change your privacy settings on the app. You can add a default disappearing messages timer so that you won’t change your chat settings every time you start a new conversation with your account.
You can set the default self-destruct timer from the Viber mobile app. Follow our quick tutorial below, and we’ll cover the steps to do so.
- Open the Viber app from your home screen or app drawer and sign in to your account.
- Tap More on the bottom right part of the app and select “Settings” from the menu.
- Head to your Privacy options.
- Select the “Disappearing Messages by Default” option on your Privacy Settings.
- Choose the default duration that you want to use for your messages on new chats.
That’s how you set a default self-destruct timer on Viber. All new one-on-one chats you start on the app come with a disappearing messages timer immediately.
Please note that the default timer won’t affect the existing chats on your account. You’ll need to configure your chat settings on existing conversations and toggle the disappearing messages feature there.
To wrap things up
Now that you know how to enable default disappearing messages on Viber, there’s no need to configure your chats every time you start a new one on the app. You can still change the disappearing messages option on individual conversations even when you enable the global timer on your account.
