If any of your friends aren’t already using Skype, you can just tap the “invite” button next to their name to get them started. Lastly, when you sign in you will now see all of your device’s address book contacts displayed in your Skype contact list. Finding contacts, chats, groups, and Skype bots is now much faster, and can be done right from the app’s main screen. There’s a multi-pane view when you’re using your tablet in landscape mode that lets you send messages, files, and check your latest conversations while on a video or voice call. Skype also says the new tablet design makes it easier to multitask. A new floating action button lets you send messages and start voice and video calls with friends or groups.

The new tablet user interface was apparently designed from the ground up. “Today we’re pleased to announce Skype 7.0 for Android, which brings Material Design to larger Android screens.” “We received great feedback on the cleaner, more polished feel of the app and how the UI added a bit of fun to your Skype conversations,” the company said.
