In mid-July Microsoft announced that it would stop supporting Skype in the version 7, after September 1, 2018.
But yesterday 27 September, Microsoft executives announced that support for the 7 release will expire on November 1 on desktops and 2018 November on 15 on mobile devices and tablets.
Microsoft changed the date in July's blog post on the upcoming Skype 7 withdrawal.
The company says: "Although you will be able to use older versions for a while, we recommend that you update today to avoid any interruption."
In mid-July, Microsoft announced that the company planned to end support for Skyρε 7, also known as Skype “Classic” on September 1st. At the time, the company reported that the users they had to install version 8 because those using Skype version 7 on Windows desktops would not be able to connect to the service.
However, in early August, Microsoft began to reconsider when it accepted comments from too many dissatisfied users.
