Skype SMS default

[Allen Rhodes]

Anyone else not see this as an option after today's build? Not working on mine, or even showing up.

First off you must make Skype your default SMS client.

Then you have to pick "Contacts" from the hamburger menu.

Next you need to change the option under the boldfaced word "Contacts" from "Skype Contacts" to "Device Contacts".

Now you can pick anyone from your contact list to start an SMS conversation with that person.

Ok, as stated in my initial post. The option to make it default isn't there after today's build. Anyone else?

I can't find it either in .321. I used to have it set.

Just updated to this build - seems to be working fine for me. Option to choose default SMS app is there in the settings.

Where, exactly?

Well my option magically appeared after looking an hour ago. No, apps are set to only manual update. No, I didn't reset my phone. No, I'm not a NEWS to the Insider program. It wasn't there before.

I had the same thing happen to me with the Store app and the option to update the live tile only when on wifi. At one point, I noticed that option was gone and I just assumed MS removed it for some reason. Later, it magically reappeared (while I was on the same build and same app version).
