Twilio Changelog

As of March 15, 2022, Twilio Group MMS is limited to existing accounts until further notice. Twilio accounts that created Group MMS before March 15, 2022 can continue to use the Group MMS feature.

If you are new to Group MMS and attempt to use it, you will receive an error message that the service is unavailable. We are sincerely sorry for any disruption this may cause. For any questions, please contact the Twilio Support team.

Customers can now keep up with the latest Regulatory requirements by updating their Regulatory Bundles through Public API and Console using the new action required compliance information update experience. The new compliance information update workflow allows customers to continue provisioning new phone numbers for a specified amount of time while updating a Bundle Copy and submitting to Twilio for review.

The Conference Summary and Participant Summary from Conference Insights is now available via Event Streams. Both summary records return useful metadata about the conference and its performance. For more information see our docs.

A deleted call recording can now be fetched via Programmable Voice API using a new IncludeSoftDeleted querystring boolean param and set its value to true when fetching a recording resource or reading multiple recording resources. By default, fetching a deleted recording returns not found and deleted recordings are not returned in the list.

Prior to this release, when a recording was deleted, metadata was only available in the Twilio Console. With this change, recording metadata is also accessible and behaves the same for Programmable Voice API.

Note that when a recording is deleted, the recording media cannot be recovered and no storage cost apply. The recording is set to a status of “deleted” and the metadata is preserved for a period of 40 days, during which time the metadata is still available.

Flex Insights Historical Reporting now enables users of Analytics Portal outside of Flex to drill down to conversations in their hosted or self hosted Flex. When users click on individual calls, chats and emails in Historical Reporting they will no longer be sent to a standalone web application outside of Flex.

The Conversation screen in Flex provides more features, supports programmability and is integrated with other Flex features. All future improvements will also be added only to Flex’s Conversation screen. The conversation screen outside of Flex is now deprecated and will not get any new improvements.

We encourage existing customers to set up their Flex instance domain so they take advantage of this new feature. To keep the user experience intact users in all existing accounts by default drill down to the legacy conversation screen. Users in newly created accounts by default drill down to hosted Flex.

For more information check our documentation.
