Microsoft today introduced new features for its instant messaging service Skype on iOS and macOS. The latest update includes many useful features.
Microsoft has extensively described the latest update on its Skype blog, introducing the new features for iOS and macOS. The developers say the purpose of the update is to increase productivity when sending messages.draft messages" is one of these new features – it's designed to ensure that messages that have been composed but not sent are preserved and flagged. The blog states:
"Now you'll never forget unsent messages again. Every message you type but don't send is saved in the corresponding conversation and tagged with a draft, so you can easily identify it, finish it, and send it later. Messages saved as drafts are even available when you leave and return to your Skype app."
In addition to draft messages, there is now also a so-called “Bookmark” for messages. It is designed to allow the saving of individual messages so that they can be found more easily when needed. By simply tapping the option “Bookmark add” triggers the command. Sending files and other media has also been improved. From now on, it's possible to preview the attachment before sending it.
"Once you select the media and files you want to share, they'll appear in the message field, so you can make sure they're the ones you want to share with your contact. You can also remove accidentally added files or media, or add new ones—right from the panel." – explain the developers.
There is also a new feature in the chat history after sending media – this summarizes all images and videos in one album.”You will see a beautiful album in the chat history with all the photos combined” – say the Skype developers. Furthermore, the Skype version for macOS has received a feature that was introduced on Windows 10 earlier this year. It allows users to split the Skype window. This allows the contact list to be separated from the chats and displayed separately. You can read the full Skype article here read it. (Photo by Burdun / Bigstockphoto)
