In an interview to The Verge, Skype product manager Jeff Kunins spoke about the current state of Skype experience across all platforms and how they are trying to fix in the future. He admitted well known Skype annoying bugs like unsynced messages across devices, call notifications continue to ring even after attending on one device, etc. He assured that Microsoft is working on to fix these serious bugs very soon. Speaking on Skype experience on Windows Phone devices, Kunins revealed that they are going to improve app load times and better notifications in the near term and have more fun things planned when Windows Phone 8.1 releases next year. I hope Microsoft delivers on their promises!

Microsoft is also improving the load times on its Skype Windows Phone app alongside better notifications, but additional improvements are coming next year. “I don’t think we’ve talked publicly a bunch about Windows Phone 8.1 and the experience, but as you can imagine we’re certainly working closely with them and how that experience is,” explains Kunins. “We’ve made a ton of progress on our Windows Phone app in general, and as you can imagine we’re doing a lot of fun things for Windows Phone 8.1 as well. I think there will be some fun things to see there.”
