Skype has quickly followed its new iOS app update with one for Android. Skype 5.2 for the Android platform introduces a handful of new features, most significantly the ability to send photos to others even when they are offline.
Previously, both the sender and recipient needed to be signed in to share photos.
Now, people can share even if the recipient is offline. Other new features include picture-in-picture view on phones for multitasking, reduced chat loading times, and call quality improvements. Skype 5.2 is free to download from the Google Play Store.
