The difference with other platforms is that Skype ensures that the available filters will change constantly, not only on special dates or celebrations like the thing Instagram did for the past Halloween for example, but that every week they are going to change and rotate, so the next time we login into our account we might not see them. That’s why we don’t want to miss the chance and take as many photos as we wish with every filter!
