Not to mention reliability has fallen to an all time low for instant messaging. Everything was working fine until they started messing around with things, as a visible indicator it started when the presence controls were changed to the current system (although minusically improved but no better). I have had to leave my desktop (win32) logged in just so I get messages (sms) and I don't have skype set to handle my sms.

That's disappointing if it means we will be stuck with the flawed presence controls going forward. See on the Google Play Store (opens in new Rubino.

You just might like it better than the full version of the app. But it shows a lot of promise and is great to use if it's available to you. This app isn't generally available, and it's still rough around the edges, so we're not giving it a rating quite yet. Hopefully, in the future, Skype Lite goes mainstream and is available in all regions. When you throw in support for SMS messaging, and the fact that it's designed to be lightweight, it can be argued that Skype Lite is the best version of Skype on Android, though at the moment it is still an unreleased app. Skype Lite is easy to navigate, does what you need it to do, and doesn't try to be something it isn't. Using Skype Lite makes it frustrating to use the new version of Skype on Android. The app supposedly also has SMS insights that automatically categorize messages for you, but in our testing, we couldn't get this feature to work.

The app also supports SMS messaging, but it does not support the SMS relay that is seen on the Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform (UWP) versions of Skype. It lets you talk to your friends, family, and colleagues without any fuss. But for most users on mobile devices, Skype Lite is completely fine. The features that are available are very basic. It does precisely what a Lite version of an app is supposed to: deliver the basics of a service while being easier on your phone and data. Messaging is quick, and video calls work well. Design doesn't mean much without function, and Skype Lite doesn't disappoint.
