As part of our regular software updates, Skype introduces new features, improves existing ones, and fixes bugs.
We always recommend using Skype’s latest version, which is why Skype automatically updates to the most recent version by default. Updating Skype is always free.
Check out What’s New on the desktop and mobile apps to see what’s new.
Skype retires older versions from time to time. Upgrade to the latest version of the software when this happens so you can sign in again.
What happens to my Skype Credit or subscriptions when I upgrade?
Skype Credit balances and subscriptions are not affected by updating to the latest version. The products you purchased before the upgrade are still available in your account.
