That puts it behind WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and the Chinese chat apps QQ Mobile and WeChat. Skype is the fifth most popular app in the category, according to data compiled by Statista, with 200 million people using it to power 3 billion minutes of calls every day. The changes come as Microsoft tries to keep up with its rivals in the online chat space. Instead, Skype now sports a user interface that's an amalgamation of today's most popular chatting apps - think Snapchat and Instagram - and that delivers a look filled with neon colors, squiggly lines and animations that feel kind of techno-meets-'80s-revival. Starting Thursday, the 13-year-old video conferencing and chat software, which was bought by Microsoft six years ago, is getting a radically new look that ditches the bubbly buttons that were so in two decades ago.
Skype is getting a makeover, though it's hard to tell whether it's cool or just trying to look cool.
