Viber on Tuesday became the latest messaging app to bolster its privacy chops with the addition of several new security-minded features including end-to-end encryption, a feature the company has been working on for years.
Viber COO Michael Shmilov said end-to-end encryption will allow people to communicate without the fear of their messages being intercepted. The feature, which will be rolling out over the next two weeks, works with one-to-one and group messages as well as voice and video calls on mobile and desktop.
