In meiosis, the phase that is typically skipped or shortened compared to mitosis is interphase. This is because the DNA does not need to replicate again before entering meiosis II, unlike in mitosis where each cell cycle is followed by an interphase for DNA replication.
The stage of meiosis II that is skipped is interphase. Meiosis II immediately follows meiosis I and consists of prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.

During meiosis I, the phase where genetic DNA is copied is called the S phase (synthesis phase) of interphase, which occurs prior to meiosis. During this phase, the chromosomes replicate, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome. Meiosis I then proceeds with the separation of homologous chromosomes, but it does not involve further DNA replication.

prophase1The first phase of meiosis is Prophase I
No, there is no S phase after meiosis 1.
prophase1The first phase of meiosis is Prophase I
Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.

A secondary oocyte is arrested in the metaphase II phase of meiosis.
The longest phase of meiosis is prophase I, which involves chromosome condensation, crossing over, and nuclear envelope breakdown. This phase can be subdivided into early, mid, and late stages, making it the most time-consuming phase in the process of meiosis.
