Skype has been constantly barraging users (not that they’re complaining) with updates the past few weeks, but now, they’re bringing a big one: a design makeover for version 6.0 for Android. Aside from looking better than ever with their redesign, the newest updated version has also enhanced search and messaging features, as well as the addition of a now very common Android app feature, the floating action button, which actually makes it easier at times to navigate an app.

The major change, design-wise, is that Skype has now been totally inspired by Google’s Material Design. Although they are a bit late to the party, with majority of major apps already adapting this design aesthetic, as they say, better late than never. Skype has often redesigned its various properties, but this one seems to be the best one yet, at least from recent memory.

The floating action button not only make it look cleaner and better, but it also lets you access the most important things you need to do on the app, like starting a video call, audio call, chat, or sending someone a video message. The enhanced search makes it even easier to find contacts and messages, and this is especially important if you already have tons of conversations and contacts on the app. Messaging has also been improved and it’s now easier to distinguish the read and unread messages.

Coupled with the past updates that brought custom ringtones, photo sharing, links previews, etc, these changes are making Skype a contender once again, competing with Viber, LINE, Hangouts, etc. The update has been rolling out to users, so you can check if you already have version 6.0.
