You guys keep making unnecessary changes, I used to be able to take multiple photos no problem, now its a whole extra step of having to back out, and press the icon again, why the regression? Also, I'm using a Samsung zfold3, the camera function used in the app for some reason isn't accurate. On the display I can have a photo perfect in frame but after the photo the shot is is taking a larger frame, making it badly taken since it's capturing more of the environment then I want.

After 10 years of use, this latest Skype mobile update caused my Android microphone to not work in the app any longer. The other party cannot hear me. I tried everything to fix it, to no avail. What's more, there is no way to change it in the Settings menu. Not sure what happened, but will have to use Zoom from now on. It was a great run, Skype. I'll miss this app.

Terrible app for having conversations with. I don't receive texts for hours from the other person. The person I'm texting doesn't receive my texts for hours. When I go onto the app there's a text I didn't receive any notifications for it. The app only updates whenever it wants to. I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone. Just received a text message at 2:24 pm today and at the top of the page it said.... Last seen 34 minutes ago. This app has got to be upgraded.
