Ugh, people are still using Skype?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not the version I use for work. If you close the conversation, the history is gone, unless you fancy digging it up in Outlook, which of course you don't, because the way it is stored there is terrible.
Just a guess, but you may be using Skype for Business, which is a completely different product with just a similarity in name.
Classic.

Sure, but the compliance requirement is that logs need to be automatically exported and archived by the IT department, without an option for the user to avoid giving logs. What does E2E benefit you at that point? The message contents, which are what E2E protects, are being copied off to some separate server. (I'd buy the argument "You should design all your protocols E2E first, and then add logging/escrow, instead of…
What does E2E benefit you at that point? Message confidentiality between businesses. Did you perhaps think SfB only works between users in the same organization?
Yes? Doesn't the client connect to exactly one server [pool], which hosts exactly one organization?
Just to get a sense of the track record here, Signal Protocol powers: * Facebook/WhatsApp * Google/Allo * Microsoft/Skype * Signal Signal is also the basis for the protocols for Wire (Proteus) and Matrix (Olm).
Can't say I am really happy about it. The more the Signal protocol is used the more money is spend on attacking it.
I prefer for Signal to be attacked and to matter than to be unattacked and to be irrelevant.
While on topic of Skype: My God the latest Skype design update is abysmal, whoever come up with that horrible mess should be fired and never touch any design or management role at all. And it’s not only design but the ux is horrible too, when you switch between conversation - it does not focus on the chat box field so you can start typing right away, instead you have to click it first. This is a basic stuff for a cha…
> on iPhone X when you accidentally click top left corner of the phone where the clock is - for some inexplicable reason the whole conversation scrolls all the way to the top, which is incredibly annoying! That's by design and standard iOS behaviour (it has been there for years). Tapping anywhere on the system toolbar (i.e. where the clock, wifi, signal strength indicators are) brings the main scrollable view to its…
What's two flicks got that this doesn't? Or maybe if a shortcut was desired for extremely long views, why not make it a double tap?

I'm having trouble finding all the docs for setting up Skype for Business federation but it looks like the latter. Since "end" here I think means the business and not the individual user account (for the same reason - all the compliance logs, all the password reset abilities, etc. applies to conversations with other businesses), if they do trust-on-first-use certificate validation of the other business, isn't that already as E2E as you're going to get?

I just tried it on this webpage, and you’re correct! I really dislike behavior like this that is useful to a few people but is far more likely to be encountered accidentally and feel buggy.
I thought this was one of Apple's "protected" features that everyone used/loved - guess not!

Who at Apple thought this was intuitive? What's two flicks got that this doesn't? Or maybe if a shortcut was desired for extremely long views, why not make it a double tap?
Try 4-5 (or more) flicks and you also have to wait for the scrolling to happen (at the speed of your flick) .... contrast that with one "press" on iOS - it's not even close - I use the feature daily.
