Yes! Skype is working on iPad 9 again!
Finally! My one year old iPad has been unable to work with Skype since July but this last update fixed whatever was causing it to freeze every time I downsized the keyboard, scrolled up or down, uploaded anything, searched for an emoji, switched chats, opened the app from a notification, etc. It was so frustrating not being able to use my favorite chat app for so long!
Skype has the longest text limit that I know of (a must for a writer like me), and it lets me copy and select multiple texts at once, and send reaction gifs and birthday cards to friends. I’ve really missed it. All the others I tried were not the same. Thank you, Apple and Microsoft team for finally making it possible for this long time consumer to enjoy the app again!! (For clarification, it worked fine on my phone this whole time, but I prefer using the app on my iPad at home, and I don’t have a computer. I’m happy being able to use a full sized screen keyboard again, without having to force close the app.)

Amazing, but huge problem.
I’ve been using Skype for years, and I love it. Just today I decided to call my cousins, but after about 3 seconds of being on the call, I got kicked off not only the call, but the app too. Then I went back on the app and called again but the same thing happened over and over again. Then I tried to update Skype. After the update it still did the same thing. For the 3 seconds that I was on the call for, my cousins said that they couldn’t hear me, and that I kept freezing. I re started my device and tried again. And still, it did not work. Then I tried calling with another device, and still, it did not work! This has never happened before in all the years I’ve been using this app. Thank you for reading this, and I still recommend using Skype, but is just like to get this fixed.

Skype
I have paid for Skype for about 20 years. It was highly functional initially. Ever since Microsoft bought it it has been slow to load the app & open up, slow to display the key pad, slow to respond to the touch, slow to dial, slow to hang up even. By slow, I mean that I often wait 15 seconds for the app to open & it regularly takes me three attempts to dial a number correctly because of the delays in key pad response. Just switching from calls to texts can take touching the button half a dozen times before it responds! I could say more but I think you get the idea. It is barely functional the last few years. Also, I have my settings so that calls will forward to my cell phone if I don’t answer on my iPad within 20 seconds & even when I’m expecting a call & I push the button on the first ring it forwards the call anyway-very frustrating. Today I was expecting a call so a I went on my computer to stop the call forwarding and received a message telling me that services were not available. The call I was expecting came & I answered it on the first ring but it forwarded anyway so I had to call the person back (I had texted to notify her that this might happen before she called me so she was prepared for it but it takes time to set that up too). I know the delays I experience are not necessary because for years Skype was not like this so it disgusts me that it is like this now!

ipad pro bugs - saving pics?
Generally Skype is okay and works for me, but I just spent an hour trying and trying and trying to save or share a pic someone sent me…. Saved them each at least three times. Can’t find them anywhere. The “share” button on individual images just doesn’t work at all. Nothing comes up when you choose it. So photos sent to me just sit there in the chat, useless. Why is such an obvious thing overlooked? When I press and hold on the image, there are no options that DO ANYTHING useful. “Save” may or may not save, but God know where to, on my ipad pro. There is no “Share” option on that menu. The rest are useless. So…. HOW????

Skype reviews about stuff
Skype has been a very good app and is kinda like FaceTime and other apps. It has been very good lately and kinda needs more work deep down inside. I don’t like the subtitles because it always when you say a word, sometimes, it just says random words. I wish the new update can auto-translate the language. I hope it does put a setting in the subtitles settings. Also, they should get rid of everyone being the host. People can mute other people, and they can kick other people! I just don’t like the fact that it does that. Maybe the new update will not make everyone the host. Anyways that’s all for today’s meeting. Adios amigos!
