Hi. You are watching VisiHow, and today I am going to show you how you can automatically add friends on the Skype application on the iPhone 6.

1. 1
   To begin with, we can unlock our phone which we can do by pressing the lock button on the right-hand side of the phone.

   Once the lock screen is up, we can simply swipe and enter the passcode, or just hold the finger into the home button which doubles as a fingerprint scanner as well.

   Once we are at the home screen, it is just a case of finding the Skype app, which in my case is in a folder. We can see that the icon itself is light blue and white with a blue S in the center as well.

   Tap the icon to open the app. It will either take us to this screen, where it has a list of most recent contacts, or it will take us to the sign in screen, in which case you can refer to my other video where I walk you through how to sign in.
