Twilio Changelog

As of November 21st, we have released a new messaging status update schema in Event Streams. Status update responses now include the number of message segments and the status update timestamp in ISO 8601 format.

Customers can now seamlessly add Over-The-Top (OTT) channel senders to their Messaging Service using our API.

This set of APIs will help you automate the Porting process to bring your numbers from your current carrier to Twilio

Starting May 5, 2025, Twilio will officially end support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols on Elastic SIP Trunking and Programmable Voice SIP interfaces.

We’re excited to announce that Group Texting is now generally available in Conversations! This feature allows businesses to create MMS conversations between multiple U.S. or Canada long code phone numbers and chat users, enabling more dynamic customer communications use cases. It’s great for sales, relationship management, and any scenario where multiple parties need to stay in the loop.

Additionally, this release includes a new Conversation with Participants API, which allows developers to create a conversation with up to 10 participants in a single API request. This streamlined approach helps Group Texting customers quickly initialize conversations, ensuring consistent and accurate group creation while avoiding potential duplicate group errors.

We previously announced in March 2024 that Twilio was going to End of Life (EOL) Twilio Video on December 5, 2026. After considering your feedback and our commitment to delivering personalized engagement, we’ve reversed our earlier decision to retire Twilio Video in 2026. Twilio Video will remain a standalone product as part of our customer engagement platform. 

Twilio Video will continue to play a key role in helping businesses provide trusted and personalized experiences. We’re also investing in enhancements to integrations with other Twilio channels, such as Voice, Messaging, and Twilio Flex, and new features to provide more actionable data-driven insights.

Current Twilio Video customers can continue to use Video as they always have; there’s no action or change needed. New Twilio Video customers can get started by reviewing our Video developer docs. 

A billing error has resulted in some accounts with Programmable Voice and/or Elastic SIP Trunking Calls Per Second (CPS) not being charged appropriately for the subscriptions on their account. The error has been addressed and proper billing of CPS subscriptions will resume as of October 21, 2024.

Twilio has identified and resolved an issue affecting the rate limits on several TaskRouter API endpoints. Due to a bug, rate limits were not being correctly enforced for the following TaskRouter endpoints:

• /Tasks?EvaluateTaskAttributes="foo=='bar'"    
  • Resource key: Task-List-EvaluateTaskAttributes
  • Limit: 3 requests per second (RPS)
• /Workers?TargetWorkersExpression="foo=='bar'"
  • Resource key: Worker-List-TargetWorkersExpression
  • Limit: 3 RPS
• /TaskQueues?EvaluateWorkerAttributes="foo=='bar'"
  • Resource key: TaskQueue-List-EvaluateWorkerAttributes
  • Limit: 3 RPS

Starting October 24, 2024, Twilio will reintroduce the rate limits for these endpoints. Any requests that exceed the specified rate limits will be throttled, and you may receive error code 429 if your usage surpasses these thresholds.

Note: This change does not impact customers who have previously requested and received exceptions to the default rate limits. We will continue to honor any existing exceptions.
