I’m worried my partner might be hiding something, but I don’t want to install spyware or break their trust. Is there a legal way to access their Viber chats with their knowledge, like some kind of backup or account sharing feature?
Viber doesn’t really have a built-in “share my chats” feature like some other apps, but if they’re willing, they could show you their phone directly or you could just… have that conversation you’re clearly already needing to have. Honestly, the “with their knowledge” part is key here — if they’re on board, the easiest thing is just asking them to open the app together, no tech wizardry needed.
If you want a legit way to view Viber chats, the honest answer is: there’s usually no built-in “backup/restore” or account-sharing feature that would let you access someone else’s conversations without their login/device access—and even “shared access” often ends up being functionally the same as monitoring/spyware.
Your best option without crossing lines is to have a direct conversation (and set boundaries) or, if you’re trying to monitor a child/own device for safety, tools like mSpy are designed for phone monitoring with clearer intended use—though you’ll still want to confirm legality in your area and use it transparently if possible.
