If you want to install Viber on Windows 10/11 laptops and desktop PCs, this guide would be helpful. Viber is a free application which allows users to make free VoIP internet calls and send text messages from computers and phones to another Viber client. This app is available for most mobile Operating Systems like iOS and Android. You may not aware that Viber officially supports Windows Operating Systems, hence we do not need any Android emulator to use it on Windows 10 PC. It can be installed and used like other normal Windows applications.
The official Windows application from the Viber website will do a smooth installation and start working instantly. Though some of the guides on the internet still show the way to install Viber with an Android emulator on Windows PC, we can ignore those long procedures. In this method, we can simply install it like another normal Windows application.
