How to Add Contacts With Skype on PC and Smartphone: Skype is an app that lets you talk to your friends and family over video. It’s a great way to talk to your loved ones and see their faces when you can’t go see them. If you have their phone numbers saved on your phone, WhatsApp will automatically add them to your list of contacts.
But if you want to talk to them, you have to save their contact information in other apps like Skype. One of the best things about Skype is that it’s free and you only need a phone, tablet, laptop, or computer to use it. Most phones, tablets, and laptops have cameras and microphones built in, so unless you are using a computer, you probably don’t need to think about buying a webcam.
