How to Spy on Viber Messages Without Having Access to the Phone?

5 Ways to Spy on Viber Messages

If you want to monitor the Viber conversations from a remote location without accessing their phone? Here are 5 ways you can spy on the Viber messages of another person.

1. Spy on Viber Messages via Xnspy

To use Xnspy for spying on the Viber messages, you must first install it on the target device. Installation does not take much time. You will need physical access to the device and simply open the download link to download and installed the app. This, however, is not required in case of iOS because you only have to configure the iCloud backup and pair your device with Xnspy to start monitoring.

Xnspy has a dashboard that lets you see everything stored on the target device. It is just like the control panel of a website having different tabs, letting you navigate through the phone.

The step-by-step guide below explains how you can spy on the Viber Messages:

In case you want to access the photos sent or received via Viber or audio and videos messages then they will be saved in the phone’s gallery. By choosing the ‘Gallery’ menu from the dashboard, you can find them and see what kind of multimedia is being exchanged between the Viber Contacts and the device owner.

Xnspy will give you all the information you need to keep tabs on your kids and find out how they are using the Viber application. Other than spying on Viber messages, you can also track Viber call logs and photos shared by contacts. These photos can be accessed through the phone’s gallery.

Viber Spying on Android

To use Xnspy for spying on Viber messages, the Android device must be rooted. The app gives you the time and date stamps of all Viber messages. If you want to spy on the Viber photos only, there is no need to root the device.

Viber Spying on iPhone

You can only use Xnspy to spy on the Viber messages on an iPhone if the device is Jailbroken.

Price

Xnspy has two editions - Basic and Premium. The Basic Edition costs $8.33 a month whereas the Premium Edition costs $12.49 a month. For spying on Viber, you will have to choose the Premium Edition.

Compatibility

Xnspy is compatible with all latest Android and iOS devices. Check out its compatibility table to see if you can use Xnspy to spy on the device you like:

4. Send Yourself Conversation Backups

If you are only interested in reading the Viber chat history not the latest or future messages, then you can send yourself the conversation backup via email. This will only contain text though.

It will just 2 minutes of your time. Although you will have to access the monitored device for a little bit, you will be spying on the Viber chats later on once you would have emailed yourself the chat logs.

Keep in mind the backup does not send contact lists, images received, outgoing photos and videos, file content sent via Viber or any unsent messages.

Here is what you need to do. The process is the same in both Android and iPhone. Since you aren’t installing anything, rooting and jailbreaking are not required. Now follow the steps below:

• Open Viber on the monitored phone.
• Go to Menu > Settings.
• Tap on Calls and Messages.
• From the options, choose Email Message History.

Depending on the number of messages on the Viber account, this could take a while. Once the processing is complete, a file will be created and it will be ready to be sent via email. You simply have to enter your address to receive the backup.

You will receive a ZIP file in the email. There will be multiple spreadsheets in the file linked to each contact. The text conversations will be inside the spreadsheet. If there was any photo or video sent, the spreadsheet will say “Photo Message” or “Video Message.”

5. Spy via Viber’s Database

Like any other messenger, Viber keeps a log of the message history on the device in a separate file. You can create a backup copy of this file and restore the user’s chat history in your own device.

However, this method of spying is not as straightforward as it looks. You will need moderate technical skills for that. So here is what you have to do. You must reach the database of the Viber messages on the person’s phone. Note that, the monitored device must be rooted or jailbroken for this purpose. Other than this, you will need a root explorer app to find the right paths on the monitored device and get to the folder that contains a log of Viber chats.
