The Skype for iPhone and iPad app has just gone a notch up, with v4.0 being rolled out recently. Now, the Skype app for the Apple smartphone and the tablet will see an array of improvements aimed at the overall functioning of the software.
With the upgrade, all the general bugs seen in the days gone by have been repaired. Owners of the iOS devices can now move their own video preview during a video chatting encounter. Its cumulative UI has been enhanced further to make the experience more convenient and stable. The layouts for messages and contact lists have also been sorted to enable easier access.
Sometimes, while multitasking on a phone or a tablet, the app running in the background closes down. Nevertheless, the graduated version keeps users logged into the Skype account if this scenario crops up at any point of time. Apart from these major elements, the accessibility and consistency of the app in general has been improved too.
Once owners of these mobile devices upgrade to the newer version, a redesigned sign-in page is expected to appear. For refresher’s sake, the app is well known for allowing instant messaging, video chatting or calling friends who use Skype, free of charge.
The Skype for iPhone and iPad app v4.0 can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. It works with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch over Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity options and is compatible with iOS 4.3 and higher devices.
