An updated flavor of the Viber application is now available for download for the owners of Windows Phone 8 and up devices, namely version 4.2.2.0.

The new application iteration has been released with a series of bug fixes and performance improvements inside, the available release notes reveal.

Moreover, it seems that Viber has added a new default background to its mobile client, so as to provide users with a new experience on their devices.

The application continues to offer the features and capabilities that have already made Viber a popular messaging service among mobile phone users out there.

These would include the possibility of sending text messages, making calls, and sending photos and videos to Viber users worldwide, over Wi-Fi or 3G networks, all free.

“Viber Out can be used to make calls to non-Viber mobile and landline numbers at low rates. Viber is available for many mobile and desktop platforms,” the application’s description reads.

Starting with version 4.2 of the application, users also enjoy instant voice messages, courtesy of a new Hold & Talk feature. The Viber mobile client is available in over 35 languages at the moment.

The updated Viber application is available for download via the Windows Phone Store, for free. It is compatible with all devices running under Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1.
