Active Endpoint Fixes Long Time Notifications Issue on Skype

Skype is a popular voice and chat application that can be used across multiple devices. It can be installed to a PC, laptop, tablet or to a smartphone. But having the same app on a lot of devices may get the user confused. Microsoft released new updates so that Skype will not be able to send notifications on all devices using it with the help of VoIP app and now, Skype adds a new feature called "active endpoint." Skype will now have synced read messages across multiple devices. Active Endpoint delivers chat messages only to the device that the user is currently using.

Example, if a user has Skype on multiple devices, lets say on a laptop on a tablet or on a smartphone. If a message is received and the user is currently using a smartphone, Skype will only send notification to the smartphone and other devices using the same app like the laptop and tablet will not receive it. Once a user picks it up on one device, the notification will stop on all other devices. The chat history will still be synced across all the devices using Skype. This will allow users to continue the conversation on whichever device the user picks up. However, if the user receives a call, all of the devices will ring regardless of whatever device that is currently being used. This will allow users to choose a device that is more convenient to answer a call.

TechnoBuffalo reports that one of the biggest issues on Skype is that the app does not sync correctly across multiple devices and now this new feature finally fixes the said issue.

Skype active endpoint feature should be expected on all the devices in the coming weeks, but users may not notice it yet for a few weeks. TechnoBuffalo suggests to keep the Skype apps updated to the latest version to get this update soon.
