The Android app offers the same features and layout as on the iPhone, but the homescreen is simplifed to four floating buttons: Contacts, Recent Calls, Call Phones (for connecting to land and mobile lines), and Profile.


A button to end the call also appears there. You can tap the screen to pull up a hovering menu with a button to switch between a back or front-facing camera, mute the microphone, or check the call time. During face-to-face calls, the incoming caller's video takes up the entire screen, while a thumbnail-sized window of outgoing video sits in the left corner. To launch a call, you can select a friend from the contact list and tap "Video Call" (you can also initiate an audio call and send an IM). The iPhone app is divided into five tabs: Call, Chats, Contacts, History, and My Info. Skype Mobile's interface works similarly to the desktop version but is simplified.
