The new filters can be applied to video messages with various effects to choose from, and you'll also find some Halloween themed emoticons and filters to celebrate the occasion this month: Get started by tapping the filter wand at the bottom left of the video message window. Choose a filter to see it in action then, when you're ready, hit the record button. Add balloons to your video message to celebrate any occasion. If you're feeling goofy, change the appearance of your face to make it look rounder or longer – we love this one! Or, if you're sending a video message showing off your Halloween costume, add some ghosts or use the negative filter to set a spooky mood. And lastly, Android users get a few welcomed improvements to conversations and contacts in the update, including: • Quickly send photos and files to the entire group by tapping on the corresponding icon in the group chat media bar. • Want to chat with a friend who isn't in Skype? Invite your friends to join Skype from the contacts tab. The updated Skype for Android app is available on Google Play now.
