For me, Skype for iPhone shows up but when I double tap it, it changes to skype
for wi-fi.

Canada must be better liked by Skype. The update isn't showing up for me in
the US store at this point.

Hello List,
Just thought I post a quick message about this. Skype was updated for me
this morning. First of all, Voiceover accessibility is, as far as I can tell,
fully there. However, the interface is completely different and will need a bit
of getting used to. Having said this, I really like what I have seen so far.
For one thing, the app loads super fast and this is something that is
mentioned in the What’s new.
The first time I opened it after the update a video started playing. I
let it play and after maybe 15 or 20 seconds it stopped and I had a “Skip
Video” button.
Once I was in the app I noticed that now there are 2 buttons, one on the
top left called the “Skype Home” button and another at the top right called “My
Info, Online” button. If I double tap this I have a Back button at the top left
and then a nice summary of everything related to my status and account:
First my name
Then a Change Profile Picture button
Next a place where I can enter a mood message.
Then the status button where I can change it from Online to Away, Offline
and so on.
Next is my Skype credit and if I double tap it I can quickly add $4.99
via an in-app purchase.
Lastly is a My Account button, a Settings button and a More button.
In Settings I can turn on or off push notifications, in-app notifications
and in-app sounds.
Under More I have buttons for Help, About, Send Feedback and Sign Out.
Underneath the top where I find these 2 buttons I have now 3 items in one
row:
Recents, Favorites and People
The order of these 3 items changes, Voiceover doesn’t say they are
buttons or links, but you can double tap on them and whichever one you double
tap on moves to the very left.
Favorites is new and for me it’s empty since I haven’t added any
Favorites yet.
People gives me all my contacts. If you double tap it you have a search
field to look for somebody and there is also a table index on the right.
Between the search field and the top of your list starting with “A” is a button
which Voiceover announces as “All”. This means all your contacts are displayed
and if you double tap on this button you can choose between All and Online.
Here I have to do some more exploring because in the old Skype you could tap on
lists and select from All contacts, Skype Contacts, Online Contacts, Saved
Phone Numbers and also bring up your iPhone Contacts. I currently don’t see
this any more and while “All” contains all you have in Skype including regular
Skype contacts whether they are online or offline as well as saved phone
numbers, one apparently can’t filter by this any more.
At the bottom of the screen are a few buttons and they may change
depending on where you are. If you are in your People view you have buttons for
“DialPad”, Message” and “More”.
One thing which is fantastic is that the DialPad now works in touch
typing mode even when you are on a call and bring up the DialPad to enter
numbers during your call.
In the past only the main DialPad where you would dial your phone number
would work in touch typing mode and you still had to double or split tap the
DialPad for entering numbers during a call.
I think this makes Skype the only Voip app where touch typing on the
DialPad is fully supported.
OK, that’s about it for now. The main thing is that Voiceover
accessibility is still as good as ever and it’s safe to update.
Regards,
Sieghard
