Skype is planning to roll out an update across all devices which includes blurring of background during video calls on the app for Android users. The background blur feature is already there in the iOS and desktop users and it will come with the Skype 8.68 update for Android users.

iOS, on the other hand, received the update in July last year, according to a report by 9to5Mac. Microsoft has also updated its support page to include Skype for Android support for background blur.

The update involves the improvement of the custom reaction picker and fixes a slew of other issues for desktop, Android, and iOS users.
