All apps do require an update from time to time in order to keep up with the times, and Skype for Android is no different. The app’s most recent update would open up the doors for you to multitask even on your smartphone – and that includes while you are on a video call. In fact, picture-in-picture support has been thrown into the mix, especially for Android-powered smartphones, after being made available on tablets for approximately a year. This means smartphone owners who are right smack in the middle of a video call can now check out a different app while continuing with the conversation.
Not only that, this particular update will see chats load at a faster rate than before, even more so when it is opened up from a notification. In addition, users of Skype for Android will gain the ability to receive pictures from Skype for iPhone users. As for the remaining changes, they will include support for formatted text including bold, italic and strikethroughs, not to mention native support for Hindi being thrown into the mix as well.
The video above depicts Skype for Android running on a tablet, which was released in the year before. However, just tickle your imagination a little bit and imagine it is how it will run on a smartphone instead, and you’re good to go. You can download the latest Skype for Android version here.
