The application of free messaging and video calls from Microsoft has lost traction compared to past times. And there are many alternatives that bring together the day-to-day communication of users. It also doesn't help that its mobile application kills the smartphone battery prematurely, despite the changes and new features included in recent months. Perhaps for this reason users have become accustomed to log out and keep the app parked until the key moments in which they want to use it.Something that is now much more comfortable thanks to the new button to log in quickly and comfortably
This is a new version of the application for the platform Android Specifically the version 5.5 , which includes battery performance improvements to keep the app running in the background, but still fails to convince users. That is why they have also introduced a new system to log in in a very agile way All this to please those who close the application after using it to not receive messages or video calls at any time.
The key is that Skype now remembers the user's account once they log out regularly. Thus, a screen with said account remains active every time Skype is accessed, now appearing an arrow-shaped button with which to sign automatically.That is, a button that directly takes the user to his account without having to enter his data such as name and password. A convenience to log out and back in with just one touch.
Of course, in this new process the privacy and security of the user may be affected if the mobile falls into the hands of a third party. That is why Skype has introduced the possibility of applying a small password to this process nothing plus press the arrow button to log in. Simply access the menu Settings and search within security for the option to associate a password to the new login button. Something that makes it possible to ensure that only the user accesses, even if it implies one more step in the process.
In this way it is much easier and faster to exit and enter the application without worrying that it remains active, it consumes device resourcesor allow other contacts to send messages and video calls. All of this is also accompanied by a new function introduced in this version. This is the content preview in the chats. Thus, when a link to a web page is sent, it is possible to see an image of the content that the interlocutor will find by clicking on said link. Another convenience to save time and data, clicking only if the content is really interesting.
In short, an update to please users who have gotten used to closing their Skype session every time they don't use the application. A convenience that speeds up the login process with just one button. The version 5.5 of Skype is now available for terminals Android via Google Play It is completely free
