To forward an SMS from WhatsApp to Viber, you will need to follow a series of steps as there is no direct functionality within either app to facilitate this process. Here's how you can achieve it:

  1. Receive the SMS in WhatsApp:

    • First, ensure that your phone number is registered with both WhatsApp and Viber.
    • When you receive an SMS on WhatsApp, open the message.
  2. Copy the Text of the SMS:

    • Select the text of the SMS by long-pressing on it until it is highlighted.
    • Tap on "Copy" to save the text to your clipboard.
  3. Open Viber:

    • Navigate to the Viber app on your device and open it.
  4. Create a New Message in Viber:

    • In the Viber app, tap on the "New Chat" icon or the compose button (usually represented by a pencil or paperclip).
  5. Paste the Text into Viber:

    • In the new message window, long-press in the text field until you see the option to paste. Tap on "Paste" to insert the copied SMS text.
  6. Send the Message:

    • Choose the recipient from your contacts list or enter their phone number manually.
    • Once you have selected the recipient, tap on the send button (usually an arrow or a paper airplane icon) to forward the message.
  7. Optional: Attach Media if Necessary:

    • If the original SMS contained media such as images or videos, you will need to save these files from WhatsApp and then attach them manually in Viber. To do this:
      • In WhatsApp, tap on the media to view it.
      • Tap on the download icon (usually a downward-facing arrow) to save the file to your device.
      • In Viber, tap on the attachments icon (usually a paperclip or camera icon).
      • Select "Gallery" and choose the saved media file from your device's storage.
      • Attach the file to the message and send it.

By following these steps, you can effectively forward an SMS from WhatsApp to Viber, ensuring that the content is transferred accurately between the two platforms.
