#IOS AUTOANSWER IN BACKGROUND SKYPE APK#
If you're experiencing the issue, you can download the beta from the Play Store or over at APK Mirror. Forum members report that the latest Skype preview app fixes the problem for them. Luckily, Microsoft is already working on a fix. If Skype were still a more widely used product, this could've affected even more people - and every affected person is one too many. I'm sure that most users would not want this feature on their primary phone, though - its potential for massive privacy invasion is just too significant, and since it involves other people snooping on you while you might be talking about them, it's worse than Google's audio eavesdropping incident back in 2017. While I'm questioning why anyone would ever even want to use a feature that automatically answers incoming calls, Microsoft gives some good reasons: it's a means to check on your pets while you're out or on vacation, or an alternative to a dedicated baby monitor (although I reckon there are better solutions than Skype calls for both).
