Skype is known for video chatting as not long ago the app’s name was synonymous with the feature of video chatting. But in the recent years it has faced stiff competition as other apps such as Facebook and Snapchat have introduced video chatting features.
To compete with all the other apps the Skype also introduced an update that changed its look and a lot of more features were added to it. The new update or the next generation of Skype is a complete redesign of the app and it has managed to take a lot of features from other popular apps and sew them together. Here are some of the ways that the update has changed the app and brought in other popular sites.
Adding Facebook to the new version
Adding Facebook to the new version is not the best choice as it does not offer everything good. The new update allows the users to see their news feed and also useful in finding new contacts in Facebook. The feature also allows the users to call the Skype users from the Facebook. It is easier to find the contacts as the search is easier. You can also update the Facebook through Skype.
It is not all good news when it comes to the update. One of the cons is that the new version allows all of the Facebook contacts to find you on Skype and one has to delete a lot of requests. It is not the best feeling to deny requests. Another con is that the version is only for Windows so other users cannot use the features. It also makes it easier to find the phonebook that is within Facebook because people mostly prefer to keep them private.
