Your News

You can start using Your News from the More screen or from the top of your Chats list when the feature becomes available.

To set up Your News:

1. Open Viber on your phone
2. Tap More
3. Tap Your News
4. Select up to seven topics that interest you (or keep the default choices)
5. Tap Follow topics (or Continue) to confirm

Once set up, the Your News chatbot will appear in your chat list.

• Daily notification: Tap the daily notification on your phone to open the chat and automatically generate your latest news brief
• Get news on demand: Open the Your News chat and tap Get news now at any time to receive a fresh brief

You can update your preferred topics, adjust notifications, or opt out at any time directly from the chat. To adjust your settings:

1. Open Viber on your phone
2. Open the Your News chat
3. Tap Your News
4. Choose an option:

• Change topics: Select or remove topics to update what appears in your brief
• Mute notifications: Stop sound and push notifications while keeping unread badges
• Stop receiving news: Pause all daily notifications and news updates
• Clear chat content: Delete your previous news briefs from the chat

To generate personalized news briefs, Viber processes limited information and sends it securely to OpenAI.

• Data storage and retention: Viber stores your topic preferences, notification status, and scheduled notification time on its secure servers to run the feature. If you request data deletion or stop using the feature, your saved preferences are deleted
• Model training: OpenAI does not use the data sent from Your News to train its AI models

• Content safety: OpenAI may review requests to ensure content complies with safety policies and excludes harmful or adult content

  Note

  Your News requires an active internet connection to generate fresh updates. If you are offline, your news brief will generate the next time you open the app while connected.
