Skype, once a popular voice, video, and messaging app, has seen a decline in users and relevance compared to newer platforms like Zoom and Meta's WhatsApp. Despite Microsoft's acquisition of Skype in 2011, its numbers have continued to slip, with daily active users dropping from 40 million to 36 million. In contrast, Microsoft's Teams communication app has been growing in popularity. While the future of Skype is uncertain, Microsoft states that it will remain an option for those who still prefer it for messaging, audio and video calling, and Bing Chat.
