Go back

This is awful! The new color scheme is useless and Skype now looks like an unprofessional mess! The elegant blue and white color scheme was simply perfect. Plus thats what Skype is known for! Even better! We cant update our status anymore. Whats up with that?!? It was great being able to update your status to what youre thinking, song lyrics, moods, etc, but they removed it... Please... Go back.... To the way Skype used to be before this update. Blue and white.

Highlights? Whats with that? This is Not Instagram. Not even a social media platform. Why change it?! Why would you need followers for a communication app like this one? We dont need a following system to update our highlights when we could just update our status - but yall removed that lovely feature. If a Skype user wants to post pictures of their last get-together than they can use Instagram, Facebook, etc, not Skype.

Before this update, Skype use to be a professional and simple app that can proudly be used for business. Now, Skype looks like a pre-teen mess because of the very bright colors, squiggly lines, complex features, and the new highlight feature that I noted above.

UPDATE

Its great that Skype added activity indicators but you still can not add a status update or mood chat whatever and you still can not change whether you want to be on Do not Disturb or Online. Idk lets say your on your phone and messages constantly are being sent to you. Rather than turn off notifications in phone settings, you should be able to go on offline mode like we were able to do previously.
