With Skype these days, Microsoft's goal is to provide a coherent mobile experience across all phones and tablets. The coming update will include "smooth animations and even a few features that aren't just new for this (5.0) version, but new to Skype altogether," according to a post on the Skype "Garage & Updates" blog. Microsoft is redesigning its Skype for iPhone mobile app and will release version 5.0 for that platform globally within a week from today, June 9.

And if you want to use the functionality but don’t want to make your phone number known you’ll have the ability to hide that from public view. Thankfully none of this is being forced on the user if they want no parts of it - simply head into settings and disable it. Like the phone address book functionality, Skype will look to match contacts from your Microsoft account’s address book to people on Skype. The feature is even more robust for people who use a Microsoft account to sign in. Skype will eventually ask you to verify your real phone number in order to use this feature, but that shouldn’t be much of an issue if you’re looking forward to pain-free methods of finding friends who have Skype accounts. Specifically new to the Android version is the ability to finally find contacts by linking your address book to Skype. Despite a huge version change, this update only brings us a couple of new features (though some very key ones if you have previously had trouble finding your friends and family members who may or may not be on Skype). Skype has just dropped version 5.0 of their Android app.
