Find groups, communities, and public accounts on Viber
As you know, the opportunities offered by Viber messenger are not limited to messaging and calls between two people. Many users find it useful and necessary to join the sender-recipient associations available on the service. Of course, before you can add yourself to a group, you have to find it, and below we’ll tell you how to do it from Android devices, iPhone and Windows PC/Laptop.
Viber Member Associations
Today there are a total of three varieties of groups in Viber messenger, which differ quite a bit from each other in terms of functionality and purpose: “normal” group chats, communities, and public accounts. Let’s briefly consider the main differences between these groups of Viber users, since you will have to perform different actions to find and join them.
How to find a viber group
The choice of the algorithm for finding one or another association in Viber is mainly dictated by the type of group the user wants to join. Depending on what exactly you need to find – a community, a public account or an ordinary group chat, as well as the version of the messaging client application used (for Android, iOS or Windows), one of the following instructions should be used to solve the article title problem.
Android
Viber for Android users have all the tools to find groups of members of the messenger literally “at their fingertips”. With a couple of taps on the screen you can join one or another group.

Public accounts.
Group chat.
There is no efficient way to find a “normal” group chat on Viber, nor to find out about its existence, other than to get information about the group from one of its members. If you need to join such a conversation, ask one of its members to add your account using the “Information” button. Or contact the creator (administrator) of the association to send you an invitation link to the group chat.
iOS
Searching for groups using the Viber client for iPhone is done in much the same way as in the Android environment described above. The differences in actions are dictated solely by the slightly different interface of the messaging apps.

group chat
Since the principle of operation of “simple” groups in Viber is the same for all messaging client applications, searching for such a chat from the iPhone is as useless as in the Android environment. If you’ve heard of a group chat and want to join it, contact one of the members or the administrator. Anyone who is a member of the group will be able to add you to the group using the option on the chat options screen. The group chat admin has an invite link to join it, which you can easily send to them if you want.

On Viber for PC, interacting with groups of other messaging participants, including search, is just as easy as on mobile phones.
communities
Public accounts.
group chat
“Normal” groups cannot be discovered in any way through the desktop messaging application. To join such an association, you will in any case have to contact a member who is already in the group chat. Both the group administrator and any other user in the group have the possibility to add other Viber account holders to the group, also using the options of the Windows version of the messenger.
Conclusion:
As you can see, Viber, regardless of the operating system for which the client application of the service used is adapted, provides the necessary tools for efficient search of public accounts and communities. As for the usual group chats, both the principle and the purpose and meaning of its operation do not allow the messenger to be provided with tools for its detection by people outside the company, and this is a quite logical step for the developers. .
