Microsoft has made a rather unexpected move regarding the issue of advertising in its products. In the new insider build of Skype, ads have been removed from the service completely.
In the near future, all users will start receiving an update that will remove ads, banners, and other inserts from all channels and the platform as a whole.
According to Microsoft's blog, this solution will provide a smoother, simpler, and more enjoyable user experience.
In addition, the 8.125 build also introduced some changes to the AI feature that allows you to create images directly in Skype. The tool has an improved interface, the ability to use it from the chat window, and an improved image expansion feature.
Among other updates, the ability to sign in to your account with OneAuth is now available on iOS, in addition to Android, where the feature was previously available. Microsoft has also fixed a few bugs, including when some notifications didn't show up on mobile devices.
