It’s been quite some time since the Skype UWP received its last update, but version 12.4.676.0, now available on the Release Preview Ring, introduces a couple of new features. The app has yet to be updated with the new Skype experience already available on iOS and Android as well as desktop platforms in preview, but it’s slowly getting there.

Although there is no official changelog for now, here are the main new features we noticed in this update:

This new update should roll out to the Production ring in the coming weeks, and Fast Ring Insiders are out of luck of for now. If you’re on the Release Preview Ring, let us know in the comments if you noticed other new features and improvements in this update.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
