Rakuten Viber launches customizable chat folders in PH
RAKUTEN Viber, the global leader in private and secure messaging and voice-based communication, launches chat folders in the Philippines, enabling users in the country to quickly find specific conversations and enhance the way they manage their communications.
Designed with user convenience in mind, chat folders streamline chat organization by allowing effortless categorization, based on topics, groups or individuals.
The new feature allows users to create up to five custom folders, in addition to an “All” tab, which automatically includes all other chats.
For example, users can create a folder for work, friends, family or favorites. Chats can even be assigned to multiple folders, and there is no limit to the number of chats that can be added. Users can also rename folders or mark all chats within folders as read making it easier to categorize and streamline their communications.
Messaging apps have become a predominant medium of communication across many areas of every Filipino’s life. Folders can provide an efficient and user-friendly way to manage or search these conversations and customize the chatting experience.
Folders are gradually rolling out globally and will become available to all users with Rakuten Viber version 22.0 and above in the next couple of months. Users with more than 10 chats will be introduced to the feature once they open the app. Folders can be also activated by going to “More” tab on the main chat screen, then selecting “Manage Folders” option and adding chats to them.
