Skype lets users take snapshots during calls and 'view photos together'.


Skype for Android has been updated with two new features today. I'm not sure what to think about them, but one thing is sure, they're no motivation to make Skype my main messaging and video calls app again. If you're a heavy Skype user, you might find them useful.


Skype will now let users take snapshots instantly during video calls and share them with the person they're chatting with. Microsoft says this feature "instantly capture the best moments from any call and share them...". To do that, simply tap the new camera button at the bottom left corner. The photo will then appear in the chat and can be saved to the local device. Just keep an eye and your thumb ready for that best moment.

The other feature is along the same line in that it lets users "view photos together." during a Skype call. Users can browse their photo gallery and share their favorite photos with friends.

Both new features will work only if all parties upgrade to the latest version of Skype. The latter can be downloaded in the Play Store.
