Skype for Windows Phone 8 now supports location sharing and better notification control

What&39;s new in this new version? The most important is the possibility to share our location with other contacts. For this we simply have to click on the add button (+) when we are in chat mode, and there select share location, with which our coordinates will be sent and They will be displayed inside a Bing map.Also, when we receive someone&39;s location, we can tap on the map to see it in full screen."

There are also improvements in notifications We didn&39;t talk about the change that occurred a few weeks ago to show notifications only on the device we are using , that&39;s it. The novelty that is now being introduced is allowing us to mute notifications for individual conversations, thus offering more granular control of which alerts reach us and which not. To access this option, we just have to press the … button while in a conversation, and then tap on notifications."

Lastly, as an added detail, but still useful, Skype for Windows Phone now lets us save to phonethose images that other users have sent us by chat.

This Skype update is now available for download from the Windows Phone Store on all computers running Windows Phone 8 or later.
