Skype for iphone ios 63/31/2023 ![]() Bumped to version 6.25, both Skype for iPhone and Skype for iPad now include SiriKit support that lets them integrate with Siri so you can call people and send messages using just your voice. The menu at the bottom is consistent across all pages so I can easily jump to where I wantĪlso I can’t find easily any way to check what a call will look like before I make it.Microsoft today announced availability of freshly updated Skype for iOS apps. 20 steps when 1 will do seems to be their motto ![]() But then again I’ve never understood Microsoft products. There is probably a reason why I’ve not used Skype in a decade. With only a few tweaks you could simplify the app to 2 pages - chats, and calls/contacts with a drop down menu of all options available on both pages. Why is calls and contacts 2 seperate pages duplicated as they essentially do the same thing. Shouldn’t it make more sense to have it on all screens?ġ drop down or pop up menu available from every page is infinitely more logical and the standard on almost every app and website Contacts has the word contacts at the top but chats has my profile icon at the top. To get to settings I had to by trail and error figure out that I had to go to chats (why chats I dont know ? but doesn’t appear anywhere else so I have to go back there to find it if I’m in another screen) then I had to click on my profile picture to find settings at the bottom of the page.Ĭalls has the word calls in the middle at the top. That said, with reduced human contact of late, I have found that you do certainly get more out of a video chat than a voice chat and so it will be interesting to see how much we continue using it once things are a bit more normal. I have generally been opposed to video calls, as normally I like to clean/do other things when on the phone (and thats perfectly socially acceptable on a voice call) but clearly I can’t do that when I video call. The interface is a little confusing when you are setting it up, but again, once its all done and you are used to it, the service itself is quite good. In the end of the day, this is the most important factor for this style of application. The quality of the calls (connection, lag, video quality etc) is quite good despite me often having fairly poor connections to the internet. Good quality calls, but not the best interfaceĭespite having an account for many years and rarely using it, I have been much more active over the last month or two (along with quite a few others obviously).
