Consent Management API is now Generally Available allowing you to programmatically sync, store, update, and manage user consent preferences globally across RCS, SMS, and MMS channels.

As of June 30, 2026, Consent Management APIs can now support healthcare use cases that may contain protected health information (PHI) for organizations that are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Twilio will sign Business Associate Addendums (BAA) with covered entities and business associates for HIPAA Eligible Services. Learn more about how to build on Twilio for HIPAA compliance.

Twilio Conversation Relay handles the real-time complexity of voice AI interactions - transcription, turn-taking, interruption handling, speech generation - so that your app logic stays focused on the conversation itself. We've published a reference component for the Twilio Voice React Native SDK to show how that works end-to-end on mobile.

Twilio is launching the Private Beta for Compliance Embeddable for US A2P 10DLC.

The Compliance Embeddable is a white-label, self-service solution that integrates seamlessly into an Independent Software Vendor’s (ISV) application portal. With the Compliance Embeddable, end customers can independently complete both brand and campaign registrations while Twilio handles the underlying regulatory infrastructure behind the scenes. 

Featuring fully customizable styling and data pre-filling, the Compliance Embeddable simplifies end-user registration, reduces internal development overhead, and streamlines onboarding workflows.

Sign up for the Private Beta to get started.

With Enhanced RBAC we have introduced more granular roles called built-in roles, which provide access to specific Twilio products including Messaging, Studio, Phone Numbers etc. You can find the complete list of new roles here.

These roles can be assigned at the organization, account or subaccount level, unlike the general roles which can only be assigned at the account level.

Twilio is announcing its public beta availability of Call Forwarding with Caller ID preservation. Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking customers who would like to preserve & retain the caller ID from the incoming trunking origination call in their outgoing trunking termination (forwarded) call for context about their customers can now use this feature. Twilio Programmable Voice already has support for this functionality via CallTokens.

New Unified Typing Indicator API experience:

You can now send typing indicators across RCS, WhatsApp (WA), and Apple Messages for Business (AMB) using a streamlined consistent integration with JSON payloads.

Smart Channel Behaviors:

• RCS: Displays a typing indicator for up to 20 seconds (or until the message delivers) to reduce perceived wait times.
• WhatsApp: Automatically marks the referenced message as read and displays the indicator for up to 25 seconds (or until delivery) using the required messageId.
• Apple Messages for Business (Private Beta): Support for Typing indicators is available! Please note that AMB access is currently restricted as it is in private beta. How to use typing indicators on AMB is available in our beta documentation. 

💡 Need more time? For longer workflows, you can send additional typing indicator requests to extend the duration before the default timeouts hit.

See our public documentation here:

• RCS
• WA

Studio and TaskRouter are now available in Private Beta in Twilio's Ireland (IE1) region. With this release, your application's Studio and TaskRouter data is processed and stored in IE1, providing EU data residency and control over where your contact center routing and workflow automation data lives.

You can learn more on Studio and TaskRouter as well as other Regional products on our Regional product and feature availability page. To request Private Beta access, contact your account team.

Starting July 13, 2026, the Conference list endpoint (GET /2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Conferences.json) will default to returning only in-progress conferences. 

If you're querying for in-progress conferences (the most common use case), no action is needed.

Currently, calling this endpoint without a Status filter returns all conferences regardless of status (init, in-progress, and completed). This change is part of an infrastructure upgrade that separates in-progress and completed conference data into distinct systems, improving reliability and performance for real-time conference operations.

The Programmable Messaging API is now generally available for SMS in Twilio’s Ireland (IE1) region. When using this feature, SMS message personal data is stored and processed in the EU up to the point it reaches Twilio’s connections with telecommunications providers.

With this release, the Ireland (IE1) region supports the following messaging features:

• Programmable Messaging API: Send outbound SMS messages using phone numbers and alphanumeric sender IDs.
• Inbound SMS: Receive inbound SMS messages via webhooks configured at the phone number or messaging service level.
• Messaging Services: Manage IE1 sender pools from the Twilio console or via the API. Take advantage of Sticky Sender, Country Code Geomatch, Advanced Opt-Out, and service webhooks in IE1. 
• Messaging Logs and Insights: Analyze and troubleshoot IE1 SMS traffic in the Twilio Console.
• Phone Numbers: Configure phone numbers for use in IE1 using the Twilio Console or the API.
