Skype’s Xbox One app gets better chat sync, contact management, and … Captain America emoticons

If you’ve ever missed an important Skype chat while playing on your Xbox One gaming console, today’s update will be good news.

In its first big update for the Skype app since the Xbox One launched (with its strategy to do more than just play games and become an entertainment center for your living room), Microsoft has revamped its chat synchronization so you’ll no longer miss any messages. The new app also adds notifications for new chat messages (don’t ask why this wasn’t there at launch) and keeps a history of up to 1,000 chat messages.
