Skype is usually one step behind when launching a new feature. This time, it has come out with yet another feature similar to the ones already launched by Instagram and Snapchat. They have introduced their version of photo effects named ‘Photo Stickers’. This new feature includes face masks, decorative borders, funny captions, etc. One of the major differences of this feature in from other apps is that Skype will suggest the apt sticker to use based on the content, either of the photo or of the day.
Earlier this year, Microsoft had introduced a camera app called Sprinklers, which can detect faces in photos, figure out an emotion, determine the age and suggest captions. The new feature is based on the same technology. Similarly, Skype will suggest its photo effects automatically with a press of a button. To use the feature, users will first have to snap a photo and then tap the magic wand icon at the top of the screen to access the photo effects.
