Microsoft updates Skype for iOS to add background blur support. It's similar to what iPad and iOS users can do on the Microsoft Teams app. Background blur is also available on Skype's desktop app since last year. With the help of artificial intelligence, the app can blur everything in a room so that the focus is on you. It detects hair, arm, and hands to avoid obscuring essential body language while you're on a video call. It won't wholly blur your surroundings, but it helps keep the focus on you. We don't know yet if or when Microsoft plans to bring the feature to Android.
