That makes Microsoft's claim of supporting 'virtually every desktop and mobile browser' somewhat dubious, but it should still be good news for iOS users who can't be bothered to install the Skype app.The Skype app has been updated with several fixes for the new iPhone 5s. You'll see that Chromium-based browsers are not supported on mobile, meaning the Android versions of Edge and Chrome won't work, which we've been able to verify. Microsoft also mentions support for Microsoft Edge versions 43 or higher on mobile, but this likely only refers to iOS, where every browser is based on Safari's WebKit. Microsoft says the service is now compatible with 'most browsers' on both mobile and desktop, which really seems to mean that Safari is now supported.Īccording to the support page Microsoft links to, Skype for Web still doesn't support Firefox, but it will work on Safari 13.1 or higher, and what's more impressive about that is that it actually works on both desktop and mobile devices, meaning macOS and iOS. While the new release doesn't bring any huge new features, there's a pretty significant addition for those using Skype for Web. If you're still using Microsoft's Skype, you may be happy to hear that the company has updated the chat app to version 8.71.
