Skype V5.0 is now live in the Play Store and you can download it straight from the Play Store link embedded at the bottom of the article. There are many changes in this newest version of the Skype.
In this version the main thing skype has added is the ability to automatically find and add your phone contacts to your Skype contact list. It even happens automagically in the background. Well, the feature is listed in the official changelog but, it will switch on “in the coming weeks.” You need to verify you number before using this feature. After the verification you will have access to all the address book contacts along with your Skype friends.
You can also disable this feature if you don;t want to get added in your friend’s list. Also there are other fixes also. You can also sign in using your Microsoft account to match your phone numbers with skype users.
