Skype's picture-in-picture video chat comes to Android phones

 
Users of Skype, Microsoft's videoconferencing software, can now enjoy that picture-in-picture feature on their Android phones.
 
The latest Skype app dated Nov. 25 ports the feature - available earlier on Android tablets - to Android smartphones.
 
"Picture in picture view lets you keep a video call going – for phones now too!" read the description on Google Play.
 
It also allows one to receive photos from Skype for iPhone and other new clients, and supports formatted text.
 
Chats also load faster, especially when opened from a notification.
 
A separate article on PC World said the new app will be appreciated greatly by heavy users.
 
 "It’s nice to see Microsoft finally apply what it’s already done on tablets to its phone version of the app. And with phones getting ever bigger, there’s plenty of opportunity to put this to use," it added.  — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
