Many people assume that if youre  appearing online on Viber, it means you are available for chat. However because were constantly connected to the internet, were always appearing as "online" on Viber and other messaging apps like Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp. This could be a hassle because people will want to chat with you even in youre work hours and you will be bombarded with Viber notifications.
