Viber messaging app now optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
Viber, the popular messaging app acquired by Rakuten almost a year ago, has finally been optimized for the latest generation of Apple’s smartphones.
Last month, a few of Viber’s foremost competitors were updated for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, including KakaoTalk, Line, and BBM.
Now, at long last, it’s Viber’s turn to gain full resolution support for the aforementioned devices.
