Sync your phone contacts with Viber

Your phone contacts should automatically appear in your Viber app. Your contacts who have Viber will have the Viber logo next to their name.
 

If for some reason your contact list is not visible in Viber or you can't see all your contacts, you may need to try one of these tricks below.

  Do you have the latest version of Viber? If not, download the latest version now.
  Refresh the contacts list by pulling down on the screen and releasing.
  Check that your device settings say All contacts to allow Viber access to your entire phone book. 

  Try removing and re-adding a contact.
  Restart your phone.

And if all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling Viber from your phone.

Sync your contacts on Viber for desktop

Your contacts should automatically sync to your desktop app. If you are missing contacts, try the following:
  Check your internet connection on both your phone and computer.
 Close your desktop app and relaunch it.
  Restart both your phone and desktop.

If nothing works, try deactivating Viber on your desktop and reactivating it.
