Burmese-speaking users of Viber now have access to the BBC’s news updates, with the launch of the BBC Burmese channel on the app.
The BBC Burmese channel on Viber will deliver several updates of key news stories of the day in text, images, as well as short audio and video clips.
With its population of 48.7 million, Myanmar has 29 million active mobile subscriptions.
BBC Burmese editor Tin Htar Swe said, “While BBC Burmese audio news bulletins are available for listening on mobile phones in Myanmar, this is the first time BBC Burmese content is made available on a chat app. With Viber’s reported 14.8 million unique users in Myanmar, we can now connect with our audiences - existing and new - through this growing platform, offering them access to news from the BBC, in their language.”
