Skype Lite

Skype Lite - Free Video Call & Chat for Android has all the basics to use the chat, voice and video call service with a lower resource and data consumption.

The version of Skype for Android that consumes fewer resources

One of the main problems that Android app developers encounter is the fragmentation of this operating system: there are different versions working at the same time, some of which have been on the market for a few years, as well as a huge range of smartphones and tablets with different ones capacities (we're not all lucky enough to own the latest Samsung Galaxy S8 or a Google Pixel, as you've probably noticed). And we don't all have the same access to the internet: some countries are still on 3G, while others are starting to use 5G.

To resolve these differences and make their apps accessible to all users, some developers release lite versions, as is the case with Skype. Here we have the version of one of the most popular chat and video calling apps in the world that comes with all the basics to be able to use the features offered by this service.

Smaller and faster, with less resource consumption
