Skype has returned to focus on its main function; Messages and calls. To this end, several useful features have been added to the app to help improve communication, such as subtitles. Another feature that was recently added to Skype is a bookmark feature. The name is mostly explained; You can bookmark a Skype message and find it quickly when you need it.
If you’ve ever been in a chat room before you may have asked, days later, “What did he say?” Skype realizes that chats are used not only for casual conversations about time and play last night. Chat rooms are used for brainstorming sessions, free family meetings, and travel planning. Skype has included a chat bookmark feature and voice over IP phone system that lets you save chats so you can check them in the future.
