Microsoft today announced the release of Skype Insider build 8.85 comes with several messaging improvements. You can now Quote/Reply to a photo from any Skype client. Until now, you could only quote text messages. In this new Insider build, you can now double tap to like a text message received on Skype mobile apps.
Another improvement is related to click/tap on someone else’s reaction to add a message reaction. To duplicate someone’s message reaction, click on their reaction on desktop and tap on mobile. Using the same way, you can also remove the reaction the same way. This Skype Insider build also includes stability improvements.
Bug fixes in this build:
Skype crashing when users upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (MSIX)
Skype crashing on iOS
Gifs not animating on Android
Skype not localizing to device language on fresh install of Skype
Missing ‘send button’ after recording a video on Android
