Instant chat apps are now the most used apps on mobile, and that’s natural because since these devices came into existence, they have allowed us to instantly communicate with our loved ones.

Discover the new Skype
Indeed, Microsoft’s voice, video, and chat application that is making a big comeback today is Skype. Indeed, Microsoft has officially announced a complete overhaul of its app, which you can see in the video below:

Will that be enough to spook WhatsApp and Messenger, the two most used apps in France? It’s hard to say, but the update is important, at least for the service.
