Skype gets cozy with Android Wear, brings calls and chats to your wrist

Skype for Android is getting an update to version 6.4 this evening, bringing along with it some much-needed integration with Android Wear. With this latest update, users will now be able to manage their conversations on their Android Wear watch by responding to chats with voice-to-text, accepting or declining incoming calls and more. Here’s the skinny on all that’s new:

  • Messaging – Get notifications and view messages on your Android Wear device.
  • Reply – Quickly respond to messages by speaking to your wrist, sending emojis, or choosing a pre-written response.
  • Calls – Accept or decline calls, mute ongoing conversations, or hang up on your Android Wear device.
  • Skype Mojis: Send short clips from your favorite movies and TV shows in a Skype chat.

Overall, this is a great update with some much-needed functionality. As always, you can head on over to Google Play to grab the latest Skype update, and let us know what you think in the comments below.
