Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately no - Viber's native export feature only includes text messages, not media files (photos, videos, voice messages). This is a significant limitation for users wanting complete conversation archives. If you need to preserve media content, you must manually save each photo and video separately before exporting the text conversation. This two-step process is time-consuming but necessary due to Viber's technical limitations. The text-only export is sufficient for documentation where the written content is primary (business records, archived communications, customer service history), but inadequate for personal archives where photos and memories are important.
