Skype 8.0 brings a bucket-load of new features and improvements that we've already discussed in a previous article. However, here is a quick recap for those who missed our initial post about the new Skype app.
Skype also added its own take on Snapchat's “Stories” feature, which is called “Highlights.” It allows users to create a highlight reel of their day with photos and videos, and then share it with friends.
A new “Find” panel makes it much easier to search from within the app. Next to the Find panel, there are two tabs - Chat and Capture - that users can toggle between.
According to Skype, version 8.0 will be available first on Android devices, followed by the new version for iPhone. So, if you're using an Android phone, then you can already download it via Google Play.
