Skype has several features similar to Snapchat
Microsoft has released a fully updated version of Skype will be a few functions that use instant messengers to competitors, in particular Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram.
Now users will be able to record themselves on video, adding stickers, and publish it as “Main event” (Highlight), that is, as “History”, which already have many messengers. Classic video call also has received a few updates. Photos can be sent directly during a call without ending the conversation. And he video conversation is now possible to illustrate reactions.
As told the Vice-President of Skype Amritansh Raghav, cause these updates are requirements of the audience.
We try to give users the features they need. They told us that they use Skype in order not to lose contact with their families, calling them one or two times a week. But when they need to quickly send a photo or message, they need to use other apps. Users asked us to add these functions in Skype and we did it
— shared Raghav.
He also noted that the company tries to balance between the needs of a modern audience and the needs of those who used the program just to make a video call. Even if the user does not like emoticons, it can use Skype only for calls and messages. However, if he wants to have fun, necessary functions will be located nearby.
