Launching Viber app via URL scheme on iOS

as for now (26.03.2017), I found this URI are working:

  • viber://add?number=NUMBER - open user page
  • viber://forward?text=foo - share text with selected users
  • viber://chats - opens chat tab
  • viber://calls - opens calls tab
  • ??? - can't find how to open user's/contacts tab
  • viber://public - opens a public tab
  • viber://more - open more tab (the last one in the row)

and some links to interact with Public Accounts https://developers.viber.com/tools/deep-links/index.html - viber://pa?chatURI=hello&context=abcdefg&text=hi - attempt to wrte hi to hello public account

support forum: https://support.viber.com/

and they have chrome extension - https://support.viber.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2191386-new-chrome-web-extension#top


I sent a mail to the Viber support and they told me that this kind of URL (opening Viber call/chat with a phone number) are no more supported. When typing Viber version is 5.6.

Look at their answer:

[email protected]:

"Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, there isn’t such option in Viber."


The only thing I've found is an url to forward a message: https://www.viber.com/en/developers/share_on_viber you can specify the text but not the recipient

Example:

viber://forward?text=foo

viber://contact?number= mobile number

It will open the particular user contact. Give user to select chat and call.
it worked for me!
