Product changelog and announcements

WhatsApp typing indicators are now supported on Twilio. Create typing indicators to signal to WhatsApp users that a response is being prepared. This improves user experience by reducing perceived wait times. Use typing indicators for responses that might take longer than a few seconds to generate.

To learn more about typing indicators on WhatsApp and how to send them, see our docs here.

Twilio SendGrid now requires HTTPS for all new Event Webhook configurations. Existing HTTP webhooks must be updated to HTTPS by February 11, 2026 to continue receiving event data.

We have added support for SSML tags to ConversationRelay to provide the pronunciation of a word or an acronym, specify where pauses should be, or increase or decrease the speed of spoken text.

We have added support for automatically detecting the language spoken by the user or sent via a text token for ConversationRelay.

Compliance Toolkit now suppports U.S. state-specific quiet hours, automatically rescheduling non-essential messages sent during select time windows to help you stay compliant with specific state regulations.

This release covers select quiet hour restrictions in the following states: Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.

Learn more and see how to enable it in our docs here.

We have added support of adding a TwiML App directly to a Conference via the Conferences Participants subresource.

Conversational Intelligence Public Key Encryption is now available to Twilio Enterprise Edition and Twilio Security Edition customers.

With this feature, you can ensure your Conversational Intelligence Transcripts and Language Operator Results are encrypted using your own public key, at the moment they are generated. Only you, the private key holder, can access the decrypted content.

You now have even greater control over your customers’ sensitive conversation data and operator insights, helping you to meet the highest security standards.

To learn more check out how to encrypt Conversational Intelligence Transcripts & Operator Results.

As of October 1, 2025 the Lookup Bulk is in Private Beta!

The Lookup Bulk API is now in Private Beta. Submit a file containing a list of phone numbers to run high-volume lookups in a single request, ideal for one-time or recurring contact list scrubs.

To request access, contact Twilio Sales for more information.

Session Window Computed Traits is available to all Unify+ and Engage customers. You can now define a session window duration (e.g., 30 minutes of inactivity) that determines when a session ends, and automatically reset the value of a computed trait when it does.

This enables traits that reflect behavior within the current session only, unlocking powerful session-scoped logic built on top of our real-time event pipeline.

What this means for you:
You can now build smarter, session-aware experiences without handling any session tracking logic yourself. A few examples:

• ⚠ Anomaly detection: Flag users with 10+ failed login attempts in a single session

• 🗺 Short-term personalization: Show banners for travel cards if viewed in the same session

• 💬 Support context: Surface recent session activity to support or sales agents

• 📍Routing: Direct users to different flows based on in-session actions

You’ll now have more precise targeting, smarter personalization, and richer context, all in real time.
