You can soon say goodbye to having to scroll through Skype chat messages on your phone when you’ve already seen the messages on your desktop. The specific date for the update hasn’t been announced yet but it is part of architecture changes and releases for the Microsoft program.

Google updates Chrome Beta for Android

 

Google adds new features to its Chrome Beta app for Android with a quicker way to save your bookmarks on your homescreen. You just need to tap on the three-dot menu and you’ll find an “Add to homescreen” option. What’s cool about this feature is it opens your favorite sites in their own apps inside Android’s app switcher.

The “New Tab Page” has also been updated to look similar to the Chrome desktop version with a Search bar in the middle and your most visited sites are displayed at the bottom. Google is rolling out these new features at the moment and you can try it out for yourself through this link.
