   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.

   In the application, we need to go to the 'settings' menu

   .

   To do that, press the 3 white dots in the bottom right corner. This will bring up the menu. It doesn't matter if we are in 'calls', 'chats' or 'contacts', the icon will always be there. The only difference is that some sections have more options in the menu.

   The 3rd option from the top says 'collect analytics data, the data is being collected anonymously to help us improve Viber'

   .

   It is collecting information on how you use the application and who you talk to. It's anonymous so yours and other peoples names are not collected, but, still, your movement and everything you do is recorded in order to help Viber. If you're happy with this, you can leave the function on. If you're not happy with this, you can turn it off. If it's on, it will say 'On' on the left, and the switch to the right will be filled with purple.

   To turn it off, just press down on the switch and swipe from right to left

   .

   The purple will be gone and the switch will be empty. It also says 'Off' on the left side. Tap on it again and swipe from left to right to turn it on. The switch will be purple.
