    • Emote properly: We've added custom reactions to your in-call experience, so you can let everyone know you're totally paying attention. Learn more about in-call reactions in Skype.
    • Bug fixes and stability improvements. We chased some bugs off the lawn with a rake, then cleaned up a bit.

    Skype for Android, iPhone, and iPad

    • Keep on sharing: We've improved the Share extension on iOS, so you can share from other apps directly into Skype even better.

    What’s fixed?

    • Some of the messages were not sending and you would get a red exclamation mark

    My Skype is 8.68 but when I check for updates it says it is up to date.

    I checked and it updated to 8.74.76.15. I forgot I have the preview version.

    @JGToy: I highly recommend ditching Store for Skype. It gets stuck like that often, and getting it unstuck is a whole thing.

    @alkaufmann: I don't know if you've tried writing a message with that build since yesterday (when this feature magically turned up in it), but there's now a big, fat Open RichText Editor button inside the editing box. I'd love to get rid of that thing, but of course there is no way. It's a welcome feature, but those who run Skype narrowly can't really afford to lose the space. They should implement it more intelligently than that.
