Why would they get rid of this feature? They used to have it, it's really handy, and all other similar tools have this capability.
Why MS acquires companies then lets them deteriorate or butcher them confuses me. WhasApp is going to knock Skype off the map if this keeps up. And I don't want to go to a FB app over Skype. Skype has clear calls, and even with video - not bad. WhatsApp - not so much, but they will catch up.
