Skype today updated its iPhone application to version 5.7.
The refreshed app mostly addresses user complaints in order to improve performance and ease-of-use. Skype 5.7 lets iPhone users press-and-hold photos within chats to save to their camera roll; reduces chat load times; adds avatars to all chat sessions, including groups, and updates them frequently; and simplifies the people list search and filter options, making it quicker to find contacts and initiate chat sessions.
Skype 5.7 is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
