On the home screen, we need to find the 'Viber' tile
.
It has a purple background, and in the middle is the Viber logo. This is a white speech bubble with a white phone inside. If Viber has not been pinned to the home screen, swipe left to find it in the Apps menu. Once Viber has been located, press down on it, and this will allow us to enter the application. We are going to show you how to forward a map location to a contact in the 'Viber' application. This is useful for helping other people locate things. For example, if you are meeting your friends at their location, you can send a map with their location to another friend to show them where to meet.

Find a chat

We only have one chat in this example. To find a chat, we will need to be in the 'chats' section which we can see at the top in white lettering. If we're not in this section, we can scroll left or right until we are. We are going to send a message so that we can forward our map location.
