I really admire your dedication in making Skype experience better and more fun for users. But still, it lacks some fundamental features like "image and video captions", "unlimited audio message time", "live location sharing",... . Hope we'll see some of them materialize in future releases.

Dear Irene,

Thank you for the good news and keep up the good work :)

I just want to also mention that Skype's built-in video player is very buggy and very annoying (sometimes you can't bring the play slider to the middle, it stops when phone rotates and when click on play again, it stops after a while). So I would appreciate if you could also take a look at the video player and see what you can do for it to make it better.

Best regards,

Kambod

This update does not work at all. It shows only white screen and it is completely blank. Downgrading to previous version does not solve the problem, because after any Restart or Exit Skype it updates automatically without any options to the nonworking latest version. So for now the Skype is down.

Hi,

Please also work on the "remove" option in chat menu since:

1. I can't remove my chat texts "only" on my device. It removes chat texts on other people devices as well.

2. I can't remove the chat texts written by the person I'm chatting with, on my own device.

Thank you for your attention.

Would be useful if Skype offered the ability to conduct searches greater than six months which is now the longest available. Any chance this can be changed to one year? Thanks.

Will you be giving us the option to disable automatic conversion of text into graphical emoticons any time soon? Before you answer, please read this:

You have two options on how you can go about things. First, giving us the ability to disable automatic conversion of text to emoticons if we want. By doing this, the people who like emojis are happy, and the people who don't like them are happy.

The other option is to leave it as is, not allowing users to disable them. In this case the people who like emojis will be happy, but the people who don't like emojis will not be happy.

As you can see, there is no real discussion. Letting us disable them is the best choice in 100% of situations.

So please. Could you guys please give us back the ability to disable the automatic conversion of text into emojis? And if not, could you please explain why? Or, just be open and say you're never going to do it directly.

Its really too much to ask.

What happened to Skype development team? It's been more than a month that we haven't seen any new version.

They're finally back, as Insider resumed several days ago and non-Insider just today.

Microsoft pretty much shuts down for 2-3 weeks for Christmas/New Year's, so not seeing something for a month or so is not unusual. I've even seen it happen at other times of year.
