   Whichever of the above actions you perform, the address book will open. Next, depending on the type of contact list displayed, simply click on the name of the future interlocutor or check the checkbox next to the desired user, and then click "Start Chat".

6. If you find an error in the sent message, do not worry, because it can be corrected:
   

In situations where you need to delete one or more messages from a chat, completely clear the history of correspondence with an individual user, or organize the list of open conversations by destroying individual elements, follow the appropriate instructions from our articles.

Sending different types of files

Viber for Windows can become very convenient tool for transferring a variety of files, because it is on the computer that users most often store most of the information.
