Noua versiune permite utilizatorilor sa inchida (in multitask tray) Skype fara ca acest lucru sa intrerupa conectivitate. In cazul in care cineva iti trimite un mesaj text sau te apeleaza, aplicatia se va lansa automat sau te va atentiona. Skype functioneaza la potentialul maxim doar pe iPhone 4 sau pe iPhone 3GS.

Run Skype in the background with multitasking in iOS4. Receive Skype calls and IM while other apps are running or when your iPhone is locked. You can also continue your call while you switch to another application. Multitasking is available only with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.
