Skype has updated its mobile app with new tools for customizing pictures similar to Instagram and Snapchat.
The photo effects include face stickers, captions, celebrity lookalikes, location and weather, and face swaps for adding a dash of whimsy to shared images. A “magic wand” button appears on the screen after users snap a photo and provides access to the effects tools. Photos can then be shared with friends and family via chat or highlights.
Microsoft says the sticker selections will change over time, especially as holidays come and go.
The new version of Skype is free to download from the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store.
