Skype 5.10 for iPhone: Bringing back URI support
Today we’re releasing Skype 5.10 for iPhone, which brings Skype URI support back to iPhones and new improvements to the dialer making it quick and easy to start Skype conversations and stay in touch with friends and family.
Skype 5.10 for iPhone brings support back for Skype URIs, which enable developers to easily use Skype’s messaging and calling infrastructure to start calls and chats straight from their mobile app or mobile website, rather than building their own. As long as the Skype app is installed on an iPhone, when a user taps on a Skype name or phone number, the URI will open the Skype app to connect a call or send a message*, making it faster than ever to reach friends, family or businesses.
