Skype update for iOS adds Siri integration, supports iOS 10 features

Skype has announced an update for iOS users that claims to integrate the best iOS 10 features into the Skype experience. The latest Skype version 6.25 for iPhone and iPad adds support for Siri integration, which enables users to use Siri to make Skype calls. Now you can simply say “Call James Archer” to start a call on Skype after confirmation on the right contact from Siri, Skype says in a blogpost.

This will enable easier switch between a regular call and a Skype call. The company announced that SiriKit and CallKit integration would arrive at their Skype for Business iOS apps next month providing business owners same freedom as announced in the Skype Blogs.

You can’t search and add new contacts to your Skype contacts using Siri commands. This update comes right after the update released from **WhatsApp** and **OlaCabs** for iOS 10.
