Microsoft has rolled out a new update that makes Skype completely ad free across all platforms, including channels and chat-lists.
“Our latest update removes all ads from Skype channels and the entire Skype platform, ensuring a smoother, decluttered and more enjoyable user experience,” said Skype product manager Irene Namuganyi.
The platform listened to feedback from users and has pledged to provide an ad-free experiences across all platforms, including mobile, macOS and Linux. While MSN articles accessed within Skype may still contain some ads, the general interface is now ad-free.
Thus, users will now be able to have ad-free channels, seamless conversations, and a user-centric design, considerably enhancing their overall experience on the app.
Alongside its ad-removal, Microsoft has also added some new features that will be sure to improve the quality of the app. This includes a new “AI image creation” tool, which allows users to generate images directly from the chat window and view them in an expanded format by clicking on them.
