If you’re concerned about your privacy or you just want to make room on your iPhone, then it might be a good idea to delete your Viber message history. There are a few different ways to delete Viber message history permanently, but some of them are better than others.
Why Delete Viber Message History at All?
There are several reasons why you might want to delete your Viber message history.
- First of all, if you have any sensitive conversations on your iPhone, you wouldn’t want someone else to read it. This is especially true if someone is borrowing your iPhone or you’re giving it away.
- Second of all, like anything else on your iPhone, Viber messages easily take up space. To save room in your storage, you could delete unnecessary messages.
Note: Just keep in mind that manually deleting the messages may not be enough for a determined snoop. If you are deleting for privacy, it’s a good idea to use a tool that will delete Viber chat permanently and make it unrecoverable.

The “Delete for Everyone” Option
If you sent an embarrassing message on Viber and want to delete it for everyone—not just yourself—so that no one can ever read it again, you can now do so with Viber. This option is only available for messages that you sent yourself, naturally.
Just long-press the message you want to delete in the chat history, and there should be an option that says “Delete for Everyone.” Choose that option to delete the message on everyone’s phones. It works both for two-way conversations and group conversations.
