Skype back to stand-alone app, at last. Standing by new UWP

[Maurizio Troso]

Great news.
Finally I got separated Lock Screen notifies, and I can silence or log out messaging systems separately, as should it be.
SMS, Skype, Messenger, Telegram, Hotmail, etc, each one with its icon, notify, sound, and behaviour when tapping on or deleting.

I preferred it all in one.

I am happy for you, but I will miss the integration with messaging.

IMHO there is place for both as soon as it is both optional.
Hope MS realize it too and will come back with at least some lightweight app as an alternative to SMS which is still quite costly for what it is.
But considering the lack of people hub in Windows 10 mobile I would of course prefer the integration with messaging because then I need just one lightweight app. Furthermore they could implement kind of routing automatics which will route the message either through the SMS channel or skype network based on the availability of the recipient.

I am sure MS can be at least as good at it as Apple with their iMessage is

@Maurizion you are already posting everywhere that you are pleased, I don't see the need to open a new thread for this.
