How we check our facts

Official sources, dated and re-checked. Every number, limit and menu path in these guides comes from Viber's own Help Center, with the month we verified it. We're an independent project — here's exactly how we work, and what we won't do.

Our method

Official sources onlyFacts come from help.viber.com and support.viber.com — not blogs, forums or SEO articles. A claim with no official source doesn't go in.
Dated and re-checkedEach guide shows the month we verified it against Viber Help. We re-check at least every six months and whenever Viber changes a flow.
Owner-recovery framingGuides are for your own account, or a family device with consent — never covert monitoring, and we never ask for your password, code or PIN.
No fake signalsNo invented reviews, no “131,000 checks” counters, no countdown pressure. If Viber's own docs are unclear, we say “not confirmed” rather than guess.

What we don't do

We can't sign in to your account, send you an activation code, or read anyone's messages. Codes and account verification stay with Viber and your mobile carrier.

We don't offer a number lookup, stealth reading, or any way into someone else's account. Where a search sits next to a scam intent — “spy by number”, “hack any account” — we explain honestly why it isn't real.
