How to View Who Liked a Message in Viber

If you use Viber regularly, you might want to check if someone has liked a message. Maybe you wrote something to make a friend laugh, or just want to check out who amongst your contacts is engaging with your messages most.

Fortunately, this is a relatively easy process. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the like function in Viber.

How to Check if Someone Liked Your Message

You can easily find out who liked a message on your mobile, tablet, or desktop. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the chat of interest.
   
2. Find the message with “likes” next to it
   
3. Press the message until you see a context menu.
   
4. Click on “Details.”
5. Then you’ll be able to see who liked the message.

Deleting a Like

You can’t delete anyone else’s likes but can take your own likes back. To do so, check for a purple heart next to the messages. If it isn’t colored and gray or there’s no emoji next to the message, then you didn’t like it. But if there’s a purple heart next to the message, tap on it again and the like will be withdrawn.

Viber’s Like Function

Viber rolled out the “like” function three years ago to the delight of its 820 million+ user base. All you have to do to like a comment is long-tap the heart icon next to any message to show your liking.

A lot of people decide to use a purple heart. Still, you can also show sadness, anger, or shock using various emojis.

Since liking a message allows users to express themselves, Viber felt that a heart alone wouldn’t capture people’s emotions when reading a message. That’s why they added a range of faces to give people more options to convey their feelings.

Why Like a Message

People might like a message for many reasons. First, only some texts require a response. A “like” might signal the conversation is over or that the other person agrees with you.

If a contact can’t respond at the moment, they might just “like” what you wrote to say, “I’ve seen this, and I’ll get back to you.” Other times a response won’t be necessary or add anything to the conversation. In that case, a simple “like” may be warranted.

And let’s admit it, liking a message is more courteous than not responding at all. Besides, for many people, liking a message is more convenient than typing something out to acknowledge something someone wrote.

At the end of the day, communication is a two-way street. It’s useful for users to react and see if other peers have responded to their messages.

Add Stickers + Like

A fun feature of the Viber app is that it enables users to create stickers. You should use a sticker in addition to liking a message. The option allows you to express yourself in a unique and funny way. With Viber, you don’t need to install third-party apps to create stickers.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to the bottom of the screen and tap on the sticker icon while in a chat room.
   
2. Go to the “Add” icon at the bottom right corner.
   
3. Tap on “Create Stickers.” You’ll have your custom sticker pack. You can give the sticker pack a name and describe it.
   
4. After that, tap on the +sign. It’ll give you three options: import a picture from your phone gallery, take a picture with your camera, or doodle and upload the image to convert into a sticker.
   
5. If you want to upload your image and doodle on it, it will give you a blank canvas to draw or write what you want.
   
6. Once you’ve finished editing the sticker, tap “Save Sticker” and see it in the sticker pack. A sticker pack contains up to 24 stickers. You can edit these any time you want.
   

The sticker function is a fun option that most other chat programs like WhatsApp and Skype lack. You can use stickers to express yourself and respond to a message that someone sends with a sticker, in addition to or rather than liking.

Download Sticker Packs

Apart from creating your own, there are some free and premium stickers that you can download. The premium stickers cost $1.99 per pack, but there are a lot of free options that you can use.

Sticker packs can be easily downloaded at the sticker market. To open it, simply follow the steps below:

1. Open the Viber app and tap on “More.”
   
2. Find the “Sticker Market” and click on that.
   

If you want to download a sticker that was sent to you in chat, tap on the sticker, and then tap “Get it”. Feel free to visit the Viber website to find out more about where and how you can download stickers for the app.

FAQS

Do I receive a notification if someone likes my message?

Notifications only alert you to incoming calls and messages. You won’t receive a notification for likes. If you’re interested in turning off the notification function or need help with it, you can refer to Viber’s help page, which will guide you through the steps you need to take.

How do I know if someone received my messages?

If you’re waiting for a “like” or a response to a message, there are ways to check if the recipient received your message. Two checkmarks indicate your message has been delivered. If there are two purple checkmarks, the recipient has seen and read the message.

Can I delete a message?

You may have sent a message to the wrong person or group and want to undo it. Alternatively, you may have sent a message with many typos and want to write a new one. Don’t worry. You can erase the message simply by holding it until the dialog box appears, and you can select “delete for everyone.”
