I rarely ever use Skype for video chat or calling ppl... I only use it as an instant messaging app. Since it's a fairly huge app and uses quite a bit of storage space and battery, I was wondering if you could suggest a good alternative that has similar features (instant messaging, some cool emojis, etc.) but without the video feature. And something lighter on space and battery.
