Terrible Update: Status and Calling
I can no longer receive notifications for skype calls/skype phone while in DND mode. It doesnt matter if skype is set to receive notifications, if I am on DND mode on PC the mobile version pushes no calls or alerts through. This is extremely unintuitive; I got skype phone since I cannot be at my PC always to receive calls -- and in the past DND mode did not interfere with receiving skype phone calls, the only thing it did was disable text message alerts.
Whats worse is that DND mode via mobile means disabling all alerts and cannot be toggled as easily as before. Statuses were simply toggled by choosing the appropriately colored button and that was it -- now you have to do this convoluted thing where you adjust the notifications on the app and on your iOS settings. Disabling iOS alerts NEVER impacted the background processes of the app prior, simply they just got rid of any chance of being bombarded with alerts on your homescreen, and the internal app statuses effected the priority of messages while using the app.
As cute as it looks now I have no idea why you would completely re-write the system. It was simple, straightforward, and easy enough to navigate.
Im worried about missing an important call simply because my mobile wont alert me anymore. Really wish we could degrade or at least fix the system so it was more streamlined as before.
Nothing about this update is user friendly, its as though none of the features were reviewed properly and were pushed out in a desperate attempt to be trendy like discord. This was a very poor attempt to repackage the product, and I hope its fixed soon... I thought I was getting hotfixes, and now I wish I never updated the bloody thing.
