Skype improves notifications and chat synchronization
Skype continues to be one of the best-known services in the world of communication And, despite not living through its golden age, when it was the most chosen option to make free calls over the Internet to any part of the world, continues to bet on gaining a foothold in the field of messaging That is why his team has been trying toimprove and refine various features of this tool to make it even more useful and comfortable on today's platforms.
This is how it is launching updates to its applications on all platforms with notable improvements in internal operation. Questions that do not present novel functions, but are really useful for users who are accustomed to using Skype on several platforms at the same time, jumping from the computer to the mobile or vice versa. A process that now makes sure that the user does not lose any information, neither parts of the conversation nor messages that do not arrive when changing from another platform.
To this end, the Skype team claims to have worked hard on the synchronization of chats or conversations This means being able to establish contact via smartphone or tablet and go instantly to the computer application where you can continue the conversation from the point where it left off.Something that was previously possible, but in a less efficient way. And it is that you had to wait for a while for the conversation to synchronize so as not to lose messages sent or received and thus avoid any confusion. Now it is an immediate process, always finding the last message sent or received when changing platforms to continue the chat from the same point.
Along with this, the system of push notifications has also been improved. That is, the alerts that warn if there are unread messages in a conversation. A notification that is now immediate and across all platforms where Skype is installed. The most reliable method to avoid missing a message. In addition, and closely related to this aspect, is the improvement in reliability when sending messages. And it is that there will no longer be a message limbo when the other user is offline.Messages always arrive, with or without connection, also informing how many and which are the messages received that have not yet been read
Finally, and being one of the points most claimed by users. Skype presents itself as a more efficient application on mobile platforms. And it is that until now, using this service on a regular basis could significantly reduce battery life Now they assure that this is not the case, being able to leave it active to receive messages without being barely noticeable on load.
In short, characteristics necessary to compete in a market in which messaging applications are increasingly competitive and where Skype was ceasing to be one of the most used options.They also ensure that they continue working to include new features such as receiving notifications only on the platform that is being actively used. At the moment it is already possible to update Skype on its different platforms through Google Play, App Store and Windows Phone Store.
