Skype for Business iOS app now available to general public

Microsoft has announced that VoIP tool Skype for Business iOS app was now available for the general public.

The announcement was put out on the official Microsoft Office blog.  Along with new features, the new app also resolves the sign-in issues that some of you experienced with Lync 2013 on iOS 9.

Join a meeting in one touch

An updated dashboard brings the contact search bar, your upcoming meetings & most-recent conversations to 1 Skype iOSplace. The contact search bar allows you to search your Global Address List by 1st name, last name, email alias or phone number. Your recent conversations are at your fingertips, no matter which device you had the conversation on. You can also easily glance at your upcoming appointments.

Enhanced in-meeting experience

Full-screen video makes for a more immersive meeting experience. Larger buttons to mute & the ability to add participants & manage your call make it a lot easier to meet while you are on the move.

Security

Office 365 customers can now take advantage of Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL)-based authentication. This enables your IT admin to configure multi-factor authentication for the Skype for Business iOS app, increasing the security beyond just a user name & password.

The new Skype for Business iOS app is available as a Universal app in the iTunes Store. iPhone users with Lync 2013 will automatically get updated to the Skype for Business app. iPad users with Lync 2013 need to download the new Universal app from the iTunes Store.
