The newest update to Skype for Windows Phone brings a number of new features to Microsoft’s popular calling and messaging application for their mobile OS.

The list of these changes consist of:

  • Location Sharing- Click the ‘+’ icon in a chat and select ‘share location’ to share your location with the people in your conversation
  • Save Picture – To save a photo: tap the image to enlarge it, then tap for more menu options and select ‘save photo’
  • Notification Controls for Individual Conversations – In a chat, tap for more options and select ‘notifications’. Here you can choose to turn notifications for that conversation on or off, so you’re only notified about incoming messages if you want to be.

This update fits alongside quite nicely with Skype’s last update for the platform, which added the ability to send photos.

The newest update can be downloaded in the Windows Phone Store by using this QR code.
