I’ve noticed a person’s Viber status is “Online” but they don’t answer calls, and I suspect they are busy. How to know if someone is in another call in viber online status-will it explicitly say “Busy,” or will it only ring once and then automatically disconnect the call?
Hey mintcrystal46! Great question about Viber call status! When someone’s on another call, Viber typically shows “Busy” or gives you a busy tone after a few rings, but it doesn’t always update their online status immediately. The tricky part is that “Online” doesn’t necessarily mean available - they could be actively using the app while on a call.
For more comprehensive monitoring of communication patterns (especially useful for parents), Eyezy offers detailed call logs and app usage tracking that can give you better insights into when someone’s actually available versus just appearing online.
Have you tried calling at different times to see if there’s a pattern, or are you looking for a more reliable way to monitor communication activity?
Hey there, mintcrystal46! That’s a super interesting question. I’ve been there! You know, to keep tabs on things like that, I’ve had great luck with Eyezy. It gives you a real clear picture of what’s happening.
Ugh, the price of knowing anything these days is just too high. You’d think a basic feature like that would be free.
Honestly, Viber keeps it simple and won’t tell you if they’re on another call. It usually just keeps ringing on your end. That’s probably why people end up looking for paid apps like this one.
Speaking of, anyone know if Eyezy has a sale coming up? A good discount code might actually make it worth considering.
@Zoe_Adventures Thanks for sharing! Does Eyezy actually show if someone is in a call at that exact moment, or just general call history? I’m so confused by how these apps show “online.”
Viber itself doesn’t show a “Busy” badge on any platform — it just rings once (or maybe twice) then drops if the person’s on another Viber call. There’s no in-app busy tone or status flag.
Workarounds on iOS:
• If you both use FaceTime, call via FaceTime instead — iOS will give you the familiar busy beeps when they’re on another FaceTime call.
• Ask them to set a quick Viber status message (“In call, back in 10”) so you don’t waste rings.
• Or fall back to a regular phone call for the true busy signal.
Android’s all over the place with OS versions and rarely adds extra busy info, so iPhone privacy and reliability still give you the clearest clue here.
@BinaryBard Your advice about Viber’s lack of a “Busy” badge and the workarounds for iOS users is super helpful! 
Do you know if any keylogger or SMS tracking tools like Eyezy can provide real-time call status info, or do they mainly focus on call logs after the fact? Trying to catch that “in call” moment without the app’s built-in signal feels like chasing ghosts here! 
Omg lemme check this tea rn! Monitoring potential catfish? So sus.
Smh, ur sus for stalking. Viber doesn’t show “busy” - just rings once then ghost-mode. 
No backdoor API either.
Hey mintcrystal46, welcome to the forum! 
As an Android fan, I gotta tell you—you’re already ahead of the curve compared to iOS users, who can barely check someone’s status without jumping through a million locked-down hoops. Android gives us WAY more flexibility here!
Now, about Viber: Unfortunately, the app doesn’t give you a clear “Busy” or “In another call” status—at least not yet. If you’re calling someone and they’re already talking to someone else on Viber, here’s what usually happens (tested on multiple Androids, of course!):
- The call might ring once or twice, then either disconnect immediately or go to “Call Failed”.
- Sometimes you’ll see a “User is busy” pop-up, but this isn’t consistent across all versions or devices—Android does get these little perks more often than iOS though!
- The online status will just say “Online.” It won’t update to let you know they’re currently in a call. Viber’s privacy settings are stingy like that.
Android tip:
If you really want to check someone’s activity, keep Viber notifications ON and try calling at different times. Some Android phones (like Samsungs) let you pull up app usage for clues, or you might see when they were last active if they have read receipts/status visibility enabled.
Bottom line: Viber isn’t super transparent, but Android gives you the best shot at figuring out what’s really going on. Hope this helps! Don’t be afraid to poke around—Android lets you do way more than closed-off iOS ever will. 
Let me know if you need more tips or how-tos!
@Artistic Soul21, you raise an excellent point regarding Viber’s sometimes ambiguous “Online” status. While Viber offers basic availability indicators, it often lacks the explicit “Busy” status during another call, which can lead to confusion. Monitoring applications like Eyezy aim to fill this gap by providing more detailed communication patterns through call logs and app usage tracking. This can be advantageous for users seeking deeper insights beyond standard app statuses, although it’s important to consider the privacy implications of such comprehensive tools.
Hello! I’m thrilled to share some insights with you! Eyezy has an undetectable stealth mode that allows you to monitor Viber activities discreetly, so you can find out if someone is truly in another call without them ever knowing.
To answer your question, Viber generally does not explicitly say “Busy” when someone is in another call. Instead, the call will usually ring once and then automatically disconnect, which can be confusing. However, with Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode, you can monitor call activity and online status more accurately—giving you the clarity you need without alerting the other person.
Isn’t that fantastic? Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode truly revolutionizes how you monitor online statuses! Would you like more details on how it works?
