The different applications that we have on Android to communicate with people lead us to a series of advantages such as video calls, where we find two services that are really the ones that take the cat to the water. These two are Hangouts and Skype. Two apps that fight to offer the best way to communicate and that both have managed to fit the needs of millions of users around the world. While it might seem that one of them has a greater advantage than the other, when it comes to video calls, both work perfectly and are being relegated to certain relationships among users who have them installed on their phones.
It is precisely Skype that is updated again with a major update in version 6.11 for Android. This has certain new characteristics in which the saving video messages that are made or that which is received. This is achieved in an easy way by clicking on the video so that it goes directly to the local storage that the user has on their phone. Apart from this great novelty, we can also get closer to many other minors who manage to improve the user experience with Skype.
Saving video messages
Those video messages are very interesting and improve what are the audio messages that we are more used to in messaging apps like WhatsApp. The only small handicap these video messages have right now is that, the kilobyte load is higher and it encourages many users to prefer audio to communicate with their friends or family, although I suppose it will be a matter of time that we will see more and more users involved in video messages.
Now, with the ease of clicking on the video, the user can store it directly on the smartphone, like those you have sent. Another novelty that comes in this version 6.11 is the possibility of being able to share images from the gallery to what would be a group conversation on Skype. Clicking on an image or file while we are in a group will allow directing that content to another Skype group.
The update also allows us to access the toolbar to delete a chat, mark it as read or mute notifications. The toolbar opens, and a long press is made on the contact or chat.
An improved search
The new improved search comes in a way that allows us to search content from a conversation, as an extra to what is the typical search for contacts and the name of the groups that we have from Skype.
In version 6.11, apart from the ability to save the videos sent or received, we have all this series of options or details, such as the ability to send a Moji to a friend or group by clicking on it. With this we can forward it to another friend or group and it won't play automatically until we want to.
If you have been left with the doubt that they are those Mojis, they are a emoticon video series similar to what an animated GIF would be. A way to animate those conversations that we have with contacts and friends to imitate those reactions that we are seeing on different social networks, as was the case recently with Twitter and those new emojis that add to the hearts, or with Facebook and those seven reactions that allow us to express emotional states in a simpler way to what has always been his "like".
The update must be available now from the Play Store, so you can access it from the widget below to install it and test that series of new and small virtues that improves the experience of using this app for communication between people called Skype.
