Skype 8.57 Allows Deleting Contacts From Contact List Directly

Skype for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web 8.57.0.116 begin rolling out March 2, 2020. It will be gradually released over the next week. It features a couple of long awaited features.

With Skype 8.57 you can finally delete a contact directly from the contact list.

1. From the Contacts tab, tap and hold or right-click the contact you want to remove.
2. Select Delete contact.
3. In the confirmation window, select Delete contact again.

Previously, you had to edit a contact in order to delete it.

Also, there is a fixed bug that was making caption languages display incorrectly, so you're now able to see the caption language options along with your device language.

Finally, devs also made a few performance enhancements.
