After the companies Apple and Google began to integrate their own solutions for sending messages and making calls over the Internet into their mobile operating systems, the then very popular Skype began to have problems. Suddenly it became just another application on your phone that brought nothing new compared to Facetime or Hangout, and when you wanted to communicate with someone between individual systems, you probably preferred to reach for WhatsApp. However, this is very good, because Microsoft had to take care of real innovations to make Skype competitive and is introducing several new features today.
The first new feature of the new Skype 8.0 version is the integrated camera. With this feature, you can instantly take a picture of something you want to send to the user you are writing to while writing a message. Of course, there is also the option to add emoticons, stickers and other gadgets such as gif animations directly to messages. Another new feature is the Find Panel. Thanks to which you can instantly share news, sports scores, restaurants, weather, videos and much more without having to leave the application. Similar to iOS offers in iMessage so-called reactions, it will also be possible to respond to messages in Skype 8.0 using reactions such as emojis, voices and many others.
V-Call reactions will then offer moving emoticons, text and photos, with which you will be able to respond directly during the video call. So directly during the call you will have the opportunity to show the person you are calling a photo, send them an emoji or comment. As part of Google Play users can test the new version of Skype 8.0 today, but for now in beta version. However, this option is not available iOS You will search in vain and we must wait until Microsoft will actually launch a new version of Skype for iOS, which should be by the end of this month.
