How to disable sounds on BB and iP5 ?
Currently, Viber utilizes your phone’s main settings for volume and vibration, so if you want to change anything in Viber, you should change the settings of your phone itself. In the future, we plan to add settings that are specific only to Viber, and when we have about this we will publish it officially.
