There’s still a seperate app for the iPad, btw.
The iPad version call Skype seems to not work for me properly. Everytime I use it, it pauses and then disconnects and then my Wi-Fi is messed up? And yes I tried reinstalling it and it does the same thing I don’t know I don’t like using it.
Yes, but what features were removed. The latest release for the desktop removed the free screen sharing feature.
