Colombo, February 08th 2021: As COVID-19 remains to be a health concern not only in Sri Lanka, but also across the globe, Valentine’s Day this year may look a bit different. For couples who are apart and for single people who’d want to get a shot at love, things will have to go virtual. Of course, nothing can replace the warmth of a lover’s touch, but this doesn’t mean Valentine’s Day will be boring. Playing as cupid for lovers, Viber is shooting its arrows through innovative features that let you express, share and bring you closer to your true feelings. Rakuten Viber is aware of the changing landscape in communication and indeed knows the varying trend of expressing emotions in this digital era. At Rakuten Viber, we ensure that your love story gets all the chance it needs to blossom. Among many advanced features, Disappearing Messages, Cupid Bot, Personalised Stickers and Gifs can be the arrow of cupid for you.
Single or taken, our very own Cupid Bot will make sure you enjoy the special day by allowing you to make special e-cards for you or your loved ones, play cupid games, and take a love quiz. All the top-notch features dedicated just for you to express your love and fondness virtually!
And there are more things you can do with Viber this month of love, wink! Leave a bit of room for your SO’s imagination by creating your own GIF, instead of sending a video! That’s right! It’s that easy! You can make special memories by using Viber’s Personalised GIF and Customizable Sticker tools that can reflect your feeling when finding the right word seems difficult. In the chat. Just tap the Gallery icon. Select the video you’d like to turn into a GIF. Edit your video as you wish and hit the GIF icon. Click send! Share your thoughts to your loved ones with the perfect image/gif you have created using heart shape emoticons on Valentine’s Day. To send some cute clips to your boo, simply hold the instant video icon on your chat screen and release when you’re done recording.
As you already know by now, in Viber, we place the privacy and security of our users above others. That’s why Viber remains to be one of the safest apps for sending sensitive messages of any kind—be it a flirty Valentine’s Day text or a wholesome Chinese New Year greeting for your family and friends. While it uses end-to-end encryption by default, it has also added safeguards for its users like Disappearing Messages in regular chats. This allows you to set a self-destruct timer for your messages. But for your further protection, it also informs you if the recipient has taken a screenshot of the message, just in case!
And if you really want to be extra smart about your messages, you can also use Viber’s Hidden Chats feature that allows you to hide certain conversations from the chat list that you can only access via a PIN, whew!
The pandemic may not be over yet, but this doesn’t mean you should deprive yourself of some love or some form of companionship. Be flirty! Make the first move! Catch up with a friend! Call your parents! And do it without compromising your privacy.
