Skype may be growing based on several indicators from the news articles. The company's founders have backed a $205 million African Tech Fund, which suggests a strategic investment likely to support Skype's expansion or influence in emerging markets. Additionally, Skype has been mentioned as one of the most popular smartphone messaging apps in the U.S., indicating a strong user base and market presence. Furthermore, an update to Skype for iOS with a new calls interface implies ongoing product development and improvement, which is often a sign of a company's commitment to growth and user experience enhancement.
