Version 5.5 of Skype for Android is available on Google Play now. Skype also notes that web link previews, a thumbnail showing a preview of webpages for links shared in chat windows, will start appearing for Android users over the next few weeks with the latest update. The app will remember your password by default, but you can switch it off in Settings in the Privacy section. With this version, you can test the latest changes to the application. With the app’s new ability to remember log-in details, users will be to decide whether or not a password is required for each log-in. Skype Preview is an in-development version of the famous video-calling application. However, for those of you who still want to sign out, we’ve made it easier for you to sign back into the app. One of the highlight features of the new web version of the app is HD video calling which was not previously available and it also includes new call reactions. Currently available in preview in version 8.46.76.59, the new feature means users no longer need extensions or plugins.

With the improvements we’ve made to battery use and notifications, you can comfortably leave Skype running on your Android devices without signing out. Skype Preview updates shouldnt even be going to the Fast Ring first if you ask me.

The app now remembers log-in details making it faster and easier to sign-in, while chat gets the web link previews feature that first arrived on the Mac and iOS. Skype for Android is getting an update today that brings two notable new features.
