Viber was nagging on my desktop for few days about version 6, suddenly decided to auto update, but it crashed with logged message "Viber executable has not been found. UpdaterTask:nTask[ERROR]".

What worse, it starts again, creating number of temporary folders 90MB each. What a mess... At least it keeps downloaded files, do not try to download again like Windows 10 and number of Microsoft applications do.

Lastly, I would update my desktop version, but iOS version will not update to version 6 (apparently it needs iOS7).

Less lucky user reports hudge data usage by Viber on Android (perhaps updating to a new version). Beware!
