As anticipated with earlier reports, a new update to Skype for iPhone marks the return of voice messaging support and profiles for the popular calling and messaging service.
Simply tap on any contact in your people list and then select profile from the menu
Skype 5.1 for iPhone we included the ability to delete a conversation, edit a message and added a “Skype”-only contact filter, as well as other updates. Today, Skype 5.2 for iPhone adds even more:
- Voice message support: When you receive a new voice message from someone, it will show up in the conversation. To listen, just press play
- View contact profiles: Simply tap on any contact in your people list and then select profile from the “…” menu, and your contact’s mood message, Skype name, birthday, location and more will be available. Additionally, if you are in a 1 to 1 conversation, you can just tap on the contact name in the header to bring up their profile
- Add participants to existing conversations: Tap on the “…” menu in the bottom right corner of any conversation (1 to 1 or group), and you’ll be presented with a shiny new “add participants” option
