I'm making an iOS app which can open Viber app and automatically call a person or go to chat window with the person. Is there any url scheme for Viber to do that such as:

viber://tel:<phone_number>
viber://chat:<phone_number>

I followed this link but it's for Android.

as for now (26.03.2017), I found this URI are working:

  • viber://add?number=NUMBER - open user page
  • viber://forward?text=foo - share text with selected users
  • viber://chats - opens chat tab
  • viber://calls - opens calls tab
  • ??? - can't find how to open user's/contacts tab
  • viber://public - opens a public tab
  • viber://more - open more tab (the last one in the row)

and some links to interact with Public Accounts https://developers.viber.com/tools/deep-links/index.html - viber://pa?chatURI=hello&context=abcdefg&text=hi - attempt to wrte hi to hello public account

and they have chrome extension - https://support.viber.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2191386-new-chrome-web-extension#top
