Hi Everyone,
The latest Insider build 8.85 was fully released and this is what we were working on.
What’s new?
Double tap to like a text message received on Mobile. You can quickly and conveniently double tap a message, to quickly react to it with a like.
Click/tap on someone else's reaction to add a message reaction on all Platforms. To duplicate someone's message reaction, click on their reaction on desktop and tap on mobile. You can also remove the reaction the same way. To see who reacted with an emoticon, hover on desktop and tap&hold on Mobile.
Stability improvements
Bug fixes:
Skype crashing when users upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (MSIX)
Skype not localizing to device language on fresh install of Skype
Downloading a file from chat hangs up a running call on Web
Trying to join a locked meeting as guest with an existing guest session causes app to get stuck in infinite spinner
As usual, all new features are rolling out gradually over the next couple of days so if you don’t see them right away, just check again soon.
Please let us know what you think about the latest changes, either here in the community or through the Skype app. You can always go to the Skype’s User Feedback channel to submit and vote for new features and ideas.
Additionally, download the latest Skype Insider build here if you have not yet, so, you don't miss out on these Early Access features. :)
Thank you,
The Skype Team
