Last month Microsoft announced that they are ending the support of Skype version 7, which will get discontinued from 1st September 2018. Those who are still using the classic Skype app will be transitioned to the new Skype app.
But the customers feedback was not so good with Skype 8 and thus the company decided to extend the support for some more time.
