Back in January, Skype announced it was testing end-to-end encrypted chat conversations, secured using Signal Protocol by Open Whisper Systems. Now, the feature is available for all users on Skype iOS, Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows Desktop.
There's a bit of a limitation, however: users can only participate in one private conversation per device at a time. The private conversation can be switched to another device, but anything sent and received will be tied to whatever device is currently being used.

Perhaps .. but skype is the only preferred by microserfs and mircroserf wannabees.... ya know the colon of tech.
Also every other platform of note rolled out (and/or emphasized) basic encryption years ago ..
So yeah ... crickets.
