With the Viber Lens, users can now apply AR filters for the first time in the Viber app. Currently, the app has 20 different Viber Lenses to choose from, and Viber will also implement different local lenses in partnership with local brands and celebrities.
The company also announced its plan to add at least 20 additional lenses every month, and businesses will have the opportunity to create their own exclusive lenses on Viber.
“We have had multiple partnerships in Nepal and have always been keen in bringing more innovative features to make Viber more fun and useful for the everyday life of Nepali users. This feature is one additional way of offering our Nepalese users something special in their daily chats and communications.”
– David Tse, the Senior director of APAC at Viber
Viber Lenses are now available in Nepal for iOS (Viber version 15.5.5 and up) and Android (Viber version 15.8.0.15 and up). Local lenses are available starting Viber version 16.0 and above.
Singer/Songwriter Swoopna Suman and Coca-Cola are the first partners to integrate the local lenses in the app.
