Can I sync my Skype instant messages across devices?

Yes, of course. When you sign in with the same Skype account on all the devices supported by Skype, your chat history as well as the status of your messages will be synchronised across all the devices supported by Skype whenever you sign in with the same Skype account on all of them. Even if you have contacts that are offline, you are able to send instant messages to them. As soon as they are able to connect to Skype, they will receive your message.

You can see some examples of how the sync works by looking at the following examples:

You receive an instant message from a colleague at work containing his phone number, which you need to call him. As soon as you get home, you have to call him, but you do not remember his telephone number. In the context of your Skype conversations, you can find the instant message for the phone number by just opening Skype on your phone or another device with the latest version of Skype installed.

Due to your busy work schedule, you may not be able to reply to every instant message you receive on Skype throughout the day. You can check your instant messages at home whenever you want, simply by starting up Skype on your home computer or other device that has the latest version of the Skype application installed on it, when you come home from work. You will see all instant messages as they appeared in Skype on your workplace computer (read or unread).

Something important needs to be shared with an offline friend. If you use the latest version of Skype, you can simply send an instant message to that friend and no matter what your status is when you get online on Skype, he or she will receive the message once they get online on Skype.
