Skype announced the termination of support for Android 2.2 and previous versions

    imageGreetings to the habrosociety!

    Today, my father received a notification in the mail tied to his Skype account about the termination of support for Android 2.2 and previous versions.


    Original Notification Text

    Pidtrimku robots version software Skype for Android 2.2 (that the latest version OS) will be pinned in a fun way


    We remembered that you can do it right (but earlier bullets) you are authorized with the Skype program on your phone with the Android 2.2 operating system (or the older version). Too bad, thank you so much for sharing all the Skype programs for the old version of the Android operating system without being pinned. Thus, through the shortcut to Skype, you can browse the program on the phone with the Android 2.2 operating system (or the older version) it’s not easy to go through the Skype program, it’s very nice to have the Android phone version.

    As long as you browse Skype on your device with the new version of the Android operating system, don’t overlook the front paragraph.

    You can do it all with your friends and relatives for the help of Skype on your desktop PC, laptop, phone, tablet, and Xbox One. You can log in to all of these versions of the program for the help of a single Skype account. The latest version of Skype for all your devices is available at www.skype.com/download .
    Notification Translation

    Skype for Android 2.2 (and earlier OS) versions will soon be discontinued


    We noticed that you are now (or used to be) authorized in the Skype program on a phone with the Android 2.2 operating system (or a previous version). Unfortunately, you should be advised that support for all Skype programs for legacy versions of the Android operating system will be discontinued soon. Thus, after a few weeks, it will be impossible to enter Skype and use the program on a phone with the Android 2.2 operating system (or a previous version). To continue using the Skype program, we recommend updating (if possible) the version of the Android operating system on your phone.

    If you use Skype on a device with a newer version of the Android operating system, do not pay attention to the previous paragraph.

    You can still keep in touch with friends and family using Skype on your desktop PC, laptop, phone, tablet, and even Xbox One. You can log into all of these versions with a single Skype account. The latest versions of Skype for all your devices are available at www.skype.com/download .

    Of course, the vast majority of participants in the IT community have more “fresh” devices with a newer version of the specified OS, and now they only grunt and say, “It was time to do this a long time ago.” Nevertheless, I think I will not be mistaken if I suppose that they, in turn, have less “advanced” relatives, friends and acquaintances whom this could quite affect, like my father.

    Well ... warned - means armed.

    And finally, a small survey on the topic.
