Owners of Android-based devices can now download and install a new flavor of the Viber application, namely version 3.1, which brings along a handful of new, highly appealing features.

Following the update to the new application release, users who like taking advantage of the features of Viber for free messaging and HD-quality phone calls will also be able to paint the images they send to their contacts.

Basically, the updated software iteration makes a variety of actions more fun than before, including sending a note to a friend, personalizing a photo with a special message, and the like.
