In case you missed it, the previous Skype update introduced plenty of other features, such as the ability to transcribe voice messages, better PDF thumbnails, redesigned replies, and many more. Although some people claim Skype is dead, Microsoft continues shipping regular updates with improvements and new capabilities to keep one of the oldest messengers far from dead.
Skype Insider is available on Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, Linux, and Android. You can also get preview updates on iOS, but they require an invitation to the closed beta in Test Flight.
