Skype 5.6 for Android

Skype for Android has been updated to version 5.6 that brings a refreshed look. It now lets you see more chats on the Recent tab that allows you to catch up on more conversations, especially when you have multiple chats going at the same time. You can now view friends who are online, on all the screen with unified avatars that is also now rounded. Chat bubbles now have new color. This gives chats more clarity, says Skype.

Last week’s update to Skype for Android version 5.5 brought option to preview web links in chat and easy log-in by remembering your log-in details.

  • “Recent” tab update to see more chats without scrolling
