Skype today released an updated version of its Android app, version 6.4 of the app brings two new features for users on an Android device. The first is support for Android Wear smartwatches and the other is Mojis, which are now finally available on Skype for Android. Skype first announced Mojis a few weeks ago, it’s an integrated way to search from famous clips from movies and TV shows which can be inserted into conversations to make them funnier.

Android Wear smartwatch owners will appreciate that Skype has finally added support for wearable devices like the LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch, Moto 360 and many others, allowing them to get notified of and red new messages from their friends directly on the smartwatch.

Not only that, users will also be able to reply to messages directly from their wearable device. Since smartwatches don’t have keyboards users will have to use voice-to-text or select from pre-written responses if they suit the message they’re trying to get across. It’s even possible to draw on the watch or respond using emojis.

Skype will also show who’s calling on the smartwatch and enable users to decline incoming calls, users can accept incoming calls from their smartwatch and then use Skype on their Android handset to jump in on the call.
