Skype is a great app that allows you to make video calls and chat with people from your circle. In addition, you can share photos with your contacts, and that’s pretty cool. If one of your contacts is sending you an image, you need to accept it first, and then the photo will download so you can see it.
However, you can enable the auto-download option for photos and eliminate the need to accept images. When a contact sends you a pic, it will be downloaded automatically, and your job is only to open it. This article will share a quick guide on enabling auto-download photos on Skype.
