Microsoft is reportedly redesigning Skype after complaints from users of the app that new features added by Snapchat "overshadowed" functions of the application.
Microsoft seems to have listened to its customers and decided to remove Highlights, a feature that allows users to post photos in bulk.
Microsoft's experimentation with changes to the app's design "overshadowed some of its core functions," including Skype's original goal of making calls, according to Peter Skillman, director of design for Skype and Outlook.
“The calls became much more difficult and the Highlights didn't excite the majority of users. We need to take a step back and simplify the application ”, explained.
Skype designers now focus on the main reasons people use Skype. So it seems the new version will bring very simplified voice calls and video αλλά και εύχρηστη Mission messages.
On mobile devices, Skype will have only three buttons for quick access to talks, calls and contacts. Along with Highlights, the Capture feature will also be removed. So users who posted Highlights will have until September 30th to download them.
