Since the Windows 10 is announced, Microsoft is planning to develop a universal app where any application can be accessed on both desktop and mobiles. In this regard, Microsoft is developing a UWP app, in which every feature of Skype will be included. Apart from this, Microsoft will discontinue the desktop app after the development of Universal app.
Now the company is working to make its interface simpler. Duplicate menus will be excluded from the app to make it more touch friendly. The upcoming preview of universal app will not include all features of desktop version.
Initially users can do one-to-one chat and send pictures. Other features will be discontinued. All these features will roll out in next release. Microsoft is testing this universal app with the help of windows insider.
