Skype Issue - iDevices

[Deleted]

Hi all!

I had a few glitches on my iPhone Skype app so deleted it re-install....


...BUT found out after when I couldn't see it that Microsoft have pulled Skype from the iTunes Store until sometime this week when the release v5.0.

So I'll be off Skype for all those who have me and wonder why I am quiet or don't reply.

Hopefully be back up and running before the weekend!




Thanks.

I had to delete Skype from my phone a month ago due to microsofts supposed "upgrades"

I hope they change things back, I could sit here and rant about how much they have made it suck but I digress.

I will do asap [member="Kyra Sol"]!

[member="Lorelei Darke"] - Supposedly, from what the blurb says, it will be 5x faster, a lot smoother, new icons and layout, will sync with other Microsoft machines and reduce the battery draining it does. And THAT will be a big pro as it drains the iPhone like a leaking tap.

The batter life wasn't my big issue-

The lack of security and privacy was what I had the biggest beef about. Three upgrades back they decided that they thought it would be a fething brilliant idea for people to be able to contact you on skype any time. Any time. Which means even after you've logged out. Even after you have exited the app on your phone. You still get message updates and you couldn't change how they alerted you. This is where the battery draining came in, because skype was constantly updating messages all the time. It never stopped running in the background.

So for people like myself who keep their phone on them all the time for work, and use it as an alarm clock in the morning - getting Skype updates 24/7 is a big, big, big no-no. This meant it would beep at me all day long, even after I quit the app, and then all night long too.

Yeah, feth that. I deleted the app from my phone and now only use it on my laptop. Until they fix that, I will not be adding it back to my phone again.
