Skype
was the hero of instant messaging but with the launch of smartphones,
the whole world of messaging flipped upside down. Instant messengers
like Whatsapp, iMessages and Facebook messenger started ruling the
messaging world. Skype could no longer hold the previous glamour.
Microsoft released a revised version for
Skype called Skype 6.0 for Android and iOS. The user interface has been
updated in the new version and the app now focuses on being more natural
and perceptive.
The company is implementing the iOS style
of navigation. The buttons at the bottom of the app visibly mark out
sections and Microsoft has done the same on the Android version. There
are swipe gestures on the iOS version to help the users to make speedy
calls or mute and erase conversations. The interface is basically the
same within the chats, with an attachment icon to let the users add
photos, location and video messages to a conversation.
