Skype Shutting Down in May

 

 

Readers will most likely remember Skype, the chat application that was commonly used from the late 2000s and 2010s, and still used by 36 million computer and smartphone users as late as Feb 2023. But it was announced a month ago that in May, it will be shutting down. 

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support over the years. Skype has been an integral part of countless meaningful moments, and we are honored to have been part of your journey.

 

Microsoft, which has owned Skype since 2011, announced that Teams, it's newer platform, will be taking it's place. 

Skype was widely used in the 2010s, but as time went on, some users would drop it, using others such as Discord and Zoom.
