Microsoft quietly releases Skype Messaging beta for Windows 10 Mobile
- 9 years ago
Microsoft this weekend quietly released a new app called Skype Messaging for Windows 10 Mobile.
We say "quietly" because the company didn't make an announcement - it merely added a new listing on the Windows Store.
In July, Microsoft retired its modern Windows app, pushing Windows users to use the desktop version instead.
At the same time, the company has said repeatedly that it plans to integrate Skype messaging, calling, and video features right into Windows 10.
This is the mobile version of that integration.
We presume Microsoft will bundle the universal app when it releases Windows 10 Mobile, and push it out as an update to Windows 10 for PCs as well, though that has yet to be confirmed.
