Hi Siegard, Well, they better work harder. I just opened app store, went in updates, and the last thing I see updated was dropbox, the 28th.
still no signs of skype. If they are intending on supporting IOS9, and I was incorrect, as it stands, at the time of writing, while may not be an intentional issue, skype will still not update on the 64 bit IOS9 devices. So I wonder. Did they intentionally drop 32 bit, or is that yet another bug? as for what'sApp, haven't redownloaded it, for I'm on the public beta, so can't download it...Sent from an iPad Air > On 30 Jun 2017, at 5:07 pm, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: > > Hi Rajmund, > > As far as Skype only supporting devices running iOS 10, this is incorrect as > of the last update (yesterday), , see below from the app store page: > > What's New in Version 8.1.2 > Issue resolved: Skype now supports all iOS 9.0 (or later) iPhones. > > This would indicate that it was a bug in the initial release of Skype 8.x for > iOS. > The fact is that this version of Skype is not very nice to say the least.
