I haven't used Skype in close to a decade. No one that I know uses Skype. All the former Skype users have moved over to WhatsApp, Discord, etc.

Who is using Skype in 2023? How many users are still using Skype?

I used Skype until 2019 when I moved back to the US. It was nice to have a local US number for my family to call. (Maybe there's a better way to do that, though.)

It gets used on platforms like italki (by users, not as a white labeled thing). People share skype names and you can use it with people behind the great firewall.
