Skype for iPhone brings messaging to your wrist with Apple Watch support

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Microsoft has updated its Skype app for iOS today, bringing along support for the Apple Watch just in time for launch day.</p> <p>With today's update, Skype (http://www.imore.com/skype) users will be able to carry their conversations over to the Apple Watch (http://www.imore.com/apple-watch) by responding with speech to text, emoticons, or canned responses. <!--break--> Here's the full breakdown of what's new in Skype for iPhone version 5.12.2:</p>

<ul><li>Reply to messages on your Apple Watch using voice to text, emoticons or quick prepared responses.</li> <li>Start chats with your favourite contacts on your Apple Watch so you can do more on the go</li> <li>General Improvements</li> </ul>

<p>Obviously the messaging experience with Skype on your Apple Watch isn't going to be as robust as the full app, but this looks like a pretty good way for users to keep up with less involved conversations nonetheless.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-for-iphone/id304878510?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><p><a href="http://www.imore.com/all-apple-watch-apps" title="" class="cta large">More: Check out iMore's Apple Watch app roundup[/url]</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/45b8e934/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
