HelloI updated my iPhone few hours ago, with the recommended Skype update - I felt assure I'm in good hands.As the fast update finished - I was shocked!A Horrible complete new version. Nothing like the Skype, I've been a member for maybe 12 years.Ugly, non-friendly, and full of weird options, as the real ones were gone.Please assist me, to erase this creation, and restore my former Skype app.I can't even look at the mobile app. If I knew it. I would have NEVER updated.Please create the option to restore the former Skype version, and enable me to stay a customer and loyal member of this website.Anyone, who know of the method to get ride of it - please do write back (as a reply) to this question.Thank you.

Messages that I had on my phone came up witha message Skype can no longer read this message with this version. I'll stick with old one as lone as I can, I have been using Skype for years and have seen many changes on phone and computer versions, but guys this is just too too bad. Who thought this wasa good update????I have a PC not a Mac, remove new version from your phone, go to recycle bin and restore previous version 6.

Go to search and enter ipa. Click on more options this should take you to where all your apps are. Find the latest version 8 and right click delete.Then find the earlier 6 and double click, it will ask you if you want to install the earlier one, say yes. Then go to your apps in itunes and scroll down, you will see skype, click install then sync or apply and the old version will return.
