Skype for Android is one of the world’s most popular cross-platform communication and IM apps. Initially launched as a desktop app, it has adapted to the latest Android smartphone trends. Skype is one of the most flexible video chat applications. Almost all services are free. It was initially called MSN Messenger Killer. However, other chat apps like Whats App and Messenger have overtaken it. However, Skype has maintained its appeal among the global business and ex-community, keeping it on track to become one of the best apps out there.
Skype for mobile is almost identical to desktop. It provides comfortable communication with high-quality voice calls such as Whats app, convenient messaging, and low-cost phone calls with credit cards. It is a complete package with all features of the desktop app. Also, the interface is easy to use and no high speed internet is required. However, for high-quality video, you still need a decent connection speed.
Skype allows you to make free voice and video calls with other Skype users. You can also purchase Skype Credit to make calls to mobile and landlines around the world. At first, Skype was more of an app used in offices than average users because people thought it was too complicated.
The latest version of the app focuses on IM messaging, making it easier for users to chat from their respective Android smartphones. You can easily share data and files via skype, but file size is limited. Skype integrates with your Android address book and lets you easily manage your contacts from within the app. You can sync Skype with all your phone contacts or simply add people manually.
How to make a Call
The Skype mobile app makes calling as easy as it is on your desktop. Just press the call button on the main screen to make a call, or press the call or video button in a conversation to make a call. Easily turn your video on and off with a single tap. It’s also worth noting that you can make two-way audio calls with one person transmitting video.
You can easily mute or end a call or go to a recent message exchanged with that contact. But what you can’t do is swap the front and rear cameras.
Features
Initially, Skype was acquired by Microsoft. Some of its features include chat, SMS connection, voice/video calling, and expressing yourself using the status feature. Video call quality is the best among competing apps like Facebook Messenger and Whats app. One of Skype’s best features is its file sharing feature with a maximum file size of 100 MB Microsoft. As everyone knows, VOIP calling is an important thing that can be easily done on the platform. An emoji-backed chat interface and easy photo sharing make conversations great. You can also update your status in the mobile app.
Introduced in the latest update, the Skype Bot will help you in your daily life through chatting. It contains a variety of bots that you can choose from depending on your requirements.
Skype syncs contacts from your address book. Users can make calls and text to cellular and landlines from anywhere at low rates.
Downside
We still want to add that you cannot use Skype as a replacement for your phone and you cannot use Skype or make emergency calls without an internet connection.
