Skype for Android version 6.4 includes an expanded ability to read the latest messages and missed calls, which was previously done through notification bar mirroring. Typing is obviously not possible on a wrist watch, so replying to texts does not seem to be a possibility, but still the company has come with a way to reply to certain messages. However, your watch can continue to be used to mute and end calls, as well as to switch to another.
In addition, Microsoft also added the option to select from a set of pre-written responses or simply respond with an emoji. The android version additionally features a floating action button that enables users to start out new videos or audio calls, text chats, or video messages.
The ability to manage calls will likely be the most useful new feature. This release will give android another thing to boast about against apple and new ways to go up against them head to head. Now, it has spread its wings and also extended its support to Android wear watches. This might be an indication of what Microsoft thinks is best equipped to survive in the growing Android Wear market.
