Microsoft discontinues Skype for Windows phones

Tech giant Microsoft has officially discontinued the Skype app for Windows devices.

This decision goes in line with the announcement the company had made earlier regarding how they intend on moving towards a newer infrastructure for their Windows 10 devices. 

‘At times, unforeseen issues have cropped up, like messages not syncing across devices, or notifications not being delivered reliably. Knowing the impact of these issues for our users, we fix these issues as quickly as we can. We do ask all our users to update Skype to ensure they benefit from our latest fixes and improvements and to enable a smooth transition to the cloud,’ the company said in a statement.
