I have been using Skype for international calls for over 15 years. My usage has always been infrequent, so Skype Credits were a great option for me. However, I recently discovered that "Skype Credit is no longer available. For new purchases, check out the monthly subscriptions or make a free Skype call to anyone anytime." This change is a dealbreaker for me. Now, you have to subscribe, and the subscription only covers one country unless you opt for the more expensive world subscription.

The former updates were a nightmare slowing the app down. The recent updates even more. I use a pixel 6 and the latest updates slow down loading times significantly (not the positive way!). Very disappointing development. Also there is no history. Just recent chat from 1-2 days is available. Reloading chat from weeks ago or even months or years is not possible at all. Fix this by adding a timeline or the like so one can jump back to conversations.

Too slow on the smartphone nowadays... takes ages to load, freezes, needs rebooting. Skype used to be so good but now its very frustrating to use on my smartphone. Additionally... this copilot ability is annoying as hell since it can't be deactivated. I dislike giving negative feedback, but for once skype has done a lot to warrant it... :(
