Android Central Question

Phone - Samsung S10. Brand new. Running latest update. not rooted.
I have potentially 2 separate issues with Viber calls, not sure if they are related.

Problem 1. The real problem. If the app is not running in background, and a Viber call comes in, I hear the sound, but there is no pick up window, no notification, nothing. Even when the phone is unlocked, nothing happens. Even when you open the Viber app, nothing. There's no way to answer the call at all. So eventually, the other party hangs up and I get a missed call.

Problem 2. If Viber app is running, there is no option to pick up the call from lock screen. I see a notification, but there is no ability to pick up. If the phone is unlocked, then the regular pick up screen appears and you can pick up without problems. Not a huge deal, just annoying.
 
Turns out I was registered already back in 2013.
Trying to follow your advice, I don't have "advanced" under settings/apps. There's "special access" in the submenu there, but there's no setting "Display over other apps". That setting also doesn't appear when I select the individual app permissions.
 
Long press viber app then tap info scroll down look for appear on top , same as disaplay over the top.

I would also while in that section check permission and tap notification on , otherwise Uninstall and try installing the app again.
