Microsoft updates Skype for Android with new quick call options and dialer button.

Microsoft has published an update to Skype for Android that improves the Calls tab interface with quick call options and a new dialer button. The Group call feature has also been improved and will now indicate the current active speaker. In other words, the picture of the speaker will get highlighted, making it easier to spot who's talking in the group. Finally, Microsoft says they "resolved audio issues when playing voice messages."

Skype adds signout to all screens and fixes some bugs.

Since the last update to Skype for Android last week that saw the popular app get a redesign that brought it closer to its Windows Phone counterpart, there has been a lot of complaints or feedback if you prefer, about the way user sign out of the app. Again like the Windows Phone version, users who wanted to log out of Skype had to go to their profile to do so. Skype has issued an update today that fixes this issue and let users log out from any of the home screens, including the profile screen.

Skype also included some bug fixes "including one that might have prevented you from making any calls or changing your status to online."

We can only salute Skype promptness.
