Update also cuts back on battery consumption.
Cloud communications firm Skype has updated its iOS app, which supports iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, to include photo sharing.
The company has responded to user demand, and is banking on customers to use the feature in favour of MMS.
Photo-sharing doesn't include a size limit either, which will allow the transfer of any shots that veer into high-res territory.
The update also boasts a slicker performance with improved speeds, while the apps are now 'less battery hungry' when the app is on standby, enabling users to send IMs and so on throughout the day without fear of a dead device.
