Microsoft redesigns Skype for iOS 7, makes accessibility and VoiceOver improvements

Microsoft has released a Skype update for its iPhone app and its iPad app, finally redesigning them both for iOS 7. You can download the new versions now directly from Apple’s App Store: iPhone and iPad.

The combined Skype 4.1.3 for iPhone and iPad changelog is as follows:

  • Refreshed look and feel for iOS 7.
  • Accessibility improvements, including improved accessibility of dialpad with touchtype support, VoiceOver announces the senders name when messaging, and VoiceOver improvements for group chats.
  • General fixes.

Microsoft released a minor Skype for iOS update on the same day as iOS 7’s release, and we noted a new interface for Apple’s latest mobile operating system was clearly missing. Now it’s here and the company can focus on delivering new features.
