The mobile release of the Skype UWP Preview app will bring you features you’ve asked for-like group calling and more-while leveraging the benefits of the Skype integration into Windows 10 you previously experienced, like a single view of your SMS and Skype conversations. Over on its Skype Garage & Updates blog, it reiterated that it will 'soon be releasing the Skype UWP Preview app to your mobile devices', adding: With its rollout of build 14327 yesterday, Microsoft only said that it would introduce 'the Skype UWP Preview app for mobile in an upcoming build'.

The new UWP app is already available to Insiders on the Fast ring in PC build 14316, which was released earlier this month - but Windows 10 Mobile users haven't yet got their first taste of it. It follows the company's recent announcement that it is ditching the unpopular Messaging + Skype experience in response to user feedback, in favor of a standalone Skype app built on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which can run across a range of Windows 10 devices. Along with various fixes and known issues, it also includes a preview of the new Messaging Everywhere feature, which allows users to send and receive SMS text messages to and from their Windows 10 PCs via their phones.īut the new build introduced another significant change on the messaging front, as Microsoft removed Skype integration from the Messaging app.

Yesterday, Microsoft rolled out its latest Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview, build 14327, to supported devices on the Fast ring.
