Hi all, If I'm understanding correctly, some can't access their Contacts within the new Skype5 app? I am perfectly able to access all my contacts by simply adding them to Skype via toggle within Settings > Privacy > Contacts. I then turned off this Contacts feature within Skype5, and Skype once again informed me that I needed to turn on related setting within Privacy settings.
In other words, one can add Contacts then use in-app search utility to search for a specific iOS Contact within Skype5 and the phone number will be automatically placed on dial pad screen. If one chooses, one can then go into Settings > Privacy and disable Skype's ability to see one's Contacts--nothing appears to be imported into Skype because I can then disable Skype's ability to see my iOS Contacts. I upgraded the app and did not have to uninstall then reinstall on my iPod Touch 5th gen.
