All both of you see is the name and photo you chose for your Viber profile. When you start a Hidden-number Chat in a Community, neither your phone number nor the phone number of the person you are talking to are visible, safeguarding your privacy. In a Community you don’t have access to other member’s phone numbers, and you may not want to give your private number to someone you don’t know at all.

Usually, when you want to chat with someone new on Viber, you have to exchange your private phone number or add them as a contact in your phone book. To help you engage with new people in a simple and safer way, we are happy to introduce Hidden-number Chats – an extra private way for Community members to chat directly, without the need to exchange or expose their phone numbers. They are a great way to build your networks and maybe even make new friends!

Communities are a safe place for you to share your interests with new people, and take part in a conversation with them about common passions.
