I always liked Skype, it was awesome! The best chatting software ever made. I'm really sad about the discontinuation of this service. Are there plans in future to bring back Skype or is it gone forever 😥?

    Hello,

    I am afraid to say that it is gone, and there's no plan to bring it back. Sorry.

    I asked that question because since 28th February some strange things happened.

    1. On 3th march there was a survey on the app: "Help to build the future of Skype".
    2. After may 5th using older versions than 8.150 a message "update required" blocked acces to the app. Since 5th June in the left upper corner appeared an arrow that closed the update message.

    So I thought that in future the situation could change... But I think that they were only coincidences..

    (Is Teams mobile app UI going to be renewed?)
