Skype today updated its iPhone app and added several new features to the mobile communications tool. First, it now supports web link previews in text chats. When users receive a web link, Skype will generate a preview image of the web site in question so users can see where the link will take them. Skype for iPhone now also supports the Apple Watch. Skype users will be able to dictate message responses, initiate conversations with favorites, select from prepared responses, and manage incoming calls. The app doesn't support voice calls on the watch directly, but it will open Skype on the iPhone if users choose to answer an in-bound call. Skype 5.13 for the iPhone is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
