Skype Snap Update Issue

1. **Check for Updates Manually**: Run the following command to manually check for and install any available updates for Snap packages, including Skype:

sudo snap refresh

2. **Verify the Installation**: Ensure that Skype is correctly installed and check its version:

snap list skype

This will show the version of Skype installed via Snap.

3. **Restart Skype**: Sometimes, simply restarting the application can resolve update prompts.

4. **Reinstall Skype**: If the issue persists, consider removing and reinstalling Skype:

sudo snap remove skype
   sudo snap install skype

5. **Check System Updates**: Make sure your system is up to date. You can update your system packages with:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

After following these steps, check if the update prompt still appears. If it does, there might be an issue with the specific version of Skype or its Snap package.

### If Installed via Snap

1. **Update Snap Packages**: Open your terminal and run the following command to update all Snap packages, including Skype:

sudo snap refresh

2. **Check for Skype Version**: To verify the installed version of Skype, run:

snap list skype

### If Installed via .deb Package

If you installed Skype using a `.deb` package, you can update it with:

1. **Update Package List**: Open your terminal and update your package list:

sudo apt update

2. **Upgrade Skype**: Then upgrade Skype specifically by running:

sudo apt upgrade skype

3. **Alternatively, Upgrade All Packages**: If you want to upgrade all installed packages, you can use:

sudo apt upgrade

### Additional Notes

– If you want to ensure you're using the latest version from Microsoft's official repository, you may need to add the Skype repository. Here’s how:

wget https://go.skype.com/skypeforlinux-64.deb
  sudo apt install ./skypeforlinux-64.deb

– After following these steps, check if Skype is updated and functioning correctly. If you still encounter issues, you may want to consider uninstalling and reinstalling Skype.

### Check Skype Version

After updating, you can check the installed version of Skype by launching the application and going to `Help` > `About Skype` or by running:

snap info skype

This will show the current version installed.
