I don’t know if this is a word but that’s exactly what they have done with the updated apps that are arriving on Android first and iOS to follow shortly after.Īs you can see from the images in this post, text chat is much more colorful and now uses text on colored backgrounds which is very similar to the feature Facebook rolled out a few months back. And with the upcoming changes, you will either love or hate them and I suspect the younger demographic will embrace these changes while older users may find the updates less than useful. Today, Microsoft is making what might be the biggest change to the communication app that is on the front-end by overhauling all the apps the company supports (iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac).


Back in 2011, Microsoft purchased Skype for $8.5 billion and today the app is used by millions around the globe as it made video calls a simple process. The application has gone through many transitions during its lifetime but most of those changes have been on the backend as the service updated its infrastructure to adapt to modern architectures.
