Skype will or will not make a direct connection. For example, if you are sitting next to each other with a friend, go online in Skype and transmit a file between both of you. You should notice amazingly fast transmission speed, as Skype detects that you are located on the same network and therefore it makes a P2P connection.
First of all, please don't shout at me for wanting to use Skype. I know that it's evil and I fully expect all the calls and text chats going through it to be stored permanently in govt data centers...
On each of your active Skype devices, go to your settings, and enable the option " Only allow Skype calls from contacts to ring on this device ". While you will still see a missed call notification from the guest usernames, the site itself will output " Could not resolve user ", and there will be no current IP listed.
Adding to the list. I had Skype working fine on my Galaxy S8 while it was on Android 7 and running the beta of version 8. After the full version of Android 8 came out i factory reset my phone and Skype had crashed in opening ever since. Tried clearing the cache, reinstalling, and even tried using the non beta version of Skype.
Skype to Skype communication is free. There is no cost to downloading the software. Only phone services are services you need to pay for (Skype to Phone, Phone to Skype). You can obtain the latest version from the Skype website.
