As far as we have learned, the guys at Microsoft are making some modifications to Skype. The famous messaging and video calling program will not finally be like this, at least in the old versions of Skype.
Apparently Microsoft has changed the program a bit and this will make users of old versions of Skype stop sending video messages as well as other functions that will be lost in the coming weeks. This decision will only affect old versions of Skype and the most striking case is the app for Windows Phone and Windows RT that will no longer be updated and will therefore stop working little by little. Although it seems that it is a Microsoft decision to kill the old Windows Phone, the truth is that it is due to an internal issue of Skype since in the versions of iOS, Android and Gnu / Linux that are not updated, the same will happen, that is to say, little by little they will lose functionality, until they become an old instant messaging app like the old Windows Messenger.
Skype for Windows Phone and Windows RT will stop updating
Even so, there is still time to solve all this if we really do not have Windows RT or Windows Phone. Thus, in the case of any other operating system, it is recommended to update to the latest version. For the moment You cannot send video messages but you can receive them, something that will stop working soon.
I personally do not like this decision since There are many users who have opted for Windows Phone mobiles over Skype. and now they will see how their new terminals have been made obsolete by actions like this one from Microsoft. And in the end, it is the mobile platform itself and its users that are harmed, who stop having certain functionalities. So it seems that we will have to update if or if our old Windows Phone Do not you think?
