I hate this update on my 950 xl. Bluetooth and speakerphone functionality it's broken so the app is useless for me as I call daily over Bluetooth while driving. And no, you cannot reply from action center or banner and notification on tile and lock screen is broken as it says have new messages when I don't. Is there any way to roll back?

I'm using Viber 6.0 since yesterday. The following changes in comparison with the previous versions are annoying (imho):
1. The Viber live tile is always showing the last message I've received even after I've seen it. In the previous versions the text/sticker disappeared from the live tile after opening the app and reading it and it was better so. Now the live tile literally "freezes" showing the last message and only refreshes after receiving a new message.
2. The message counter in the bottom right corner of the live tile won't refresh either after reading the messages (until receiving a new message).
3. The notifications on the lockscreen also do not disappear after opening the app and reading the last post(s). It looks like I have always some new messages. This is really annoying, because it makes me wake up the phone.
4. Altough the setting is activated, the new messages won't show up in the Action center like it was in the previous versions.

I have the same observations and I do hope that Viber continues to iron out the bugs.

And just to add to others comments, here are mine.

I can't pivot left and right between conversations - contacts - pubic chats. I have to reach out all the way to the top just to switch the view. I read somewhere that this may be a limitation of the tool that was used to make the app. In any case it's a slight inconvenience.

The pivot issue I guess is the same with the Windows Central app where you can't pivot between the article and comments.

My contacts online status takes awhile to update, it could show "online moments ago" when the user is actually online.

Also, so far I still cannot post a new or update my review in the Store.

My two cents

Viber has just introduced cloud backup feature on both Android and iOS, but sadly not for W10M.

They have been working on this release for so long and clearly they could have implemented it along the way but they choose not to...
