It's never that simple in Japanese.
こんにちは means "hello", "good afternoon" etc. used during day time. However, it is rarely used with people that you are familiar with. In practice, こんにちは is hardly ever used between friends and never between your colleagues.
You'll have a fumble a bit when it comes to greeting friends in the day time. There is no clear rule on this in Japanese but おっす、おう、やあ、久しぶり、お疲れ様 are a good start.
