Just last month, Skype for Android got updated with a few new features that expanded the functionalities of the popular cross-platform messaging service, but frankly said, it was still lacking behind the iOS and desktop versions of Microsoft’s popular. Well, the newest update for Skype (v5.3) aims to right that wrong.
Skype has scored support for emojis so that users are not limited to the built-in emoticons. There’s also a new bubble chat layout present, which brings it on par with the other versions of the app (the desktop and iOS ones). The app will also score large animated emoticons, but this feature is listed as “coming in the following weeks” so don’t expect it just yet.
