@adithya as my comment on the post said, stated it was unreleased and no official launch post
It blows my mind why "light" apps need to be "designed for India." Why can't the rest of us have access to light and fast app that just work? That language from Skype is almost insulting, IMO. What do you guys think?
@kirillzubovsky I agree. They should understand it should be for everyone who doesn't have let's say much memory on phone and want to have faster apps. That really sucks
Hopefully this initiative will result in some "trickle up" to the Skype Regular. I don't care about bandwidth usage, but I do care about how the app handles itself in challenging network conditions, how much power it uses, and how snappy the app behaves.
Funny thing is that Skype Lite was originally launched in 2009 as the company (then owned by eBay or maybe Silver Lake) tried to enter the mobile calling game on Android https://www.google.com/amp/mobil...
Hunted that a week ago, while it was still "Skype Mingo" https://www.producthunt.com/post...
It would be awesome if Microsoft let to download this version of Skype here in Cuba.
Skype is a telecommunication website or software which is nowadays used worldwide. Skype apk is actually 31.5 Mb. So it might be was a better option to build a lite version of Skype so that every user can use it. Skype is widely used for video as well as voice calling. So it was a better option to build its lite version of it. The lite version of the Skype is only 22 Mb with reduced features. So you can actually use it. If you need other support you can go to Microsoft Support UK
There's this significant feature that's in the pipeline. Skype to feature Aadhaar based identity authentication in India 🇮🇳 http://factordaily.com/news/skyp...
A lot of what Microsoft makes seems the opposite of Lite, so what this really should be called it Skype Done Right
