A day before skype for android got the new 4.7 update.Skype promised that the new update willl give you aggresive battery life improvement that will allow you to run skype on the background. Skype says that for better battery managment is acquired by sacrificing instant group chat notifications which is switched off by default.Skype says that after some time they will bring back the notifications when it will somehow not impact the battery drainage.
