In view of this, the keywords “Viber” and “Spotify” also made it to the top trending list of Twitter Philippines as more online users report the unusual technical glitch. Around 7,290 mentioned Viber on their tweets while Spotify earned a whopping 955,000 tweets globally.
In a tweet, Viber said that such technical issue is being experienced worldwide.
The instant messaging software application advised its users to wait while they fix the glitch.
Thousands of apps in the world including @Viber are down on iOS / iPhone, due to a technical problem that will be fixed anytime soon.
‼️Do not uninstall and reinstall Viber it won’t fix the problem.‼️
Viber will be back anytime soon.
Thanks for your patience.

Meanwhile, The Independent reported that the iPhone version of the Swedish music streaming and media services provider Spotify also stopped working properly.
It reported that “the issue appears to be a consequence of problems with Facebook’s developers tools.”
“The same issue has led to problems at a wide variety of apps,” it added.
The Independent also said that “there appears to be no simple fix for the issue.”
Like Viber, the publication said deleting and re-installing the app “does not solve the problem.”
Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post also reported some iPhone users reported experiencing technical issues with the Israeli GPS navigation app Waze on Friday evening.
