October Updates

Updated over 2 months ago

Updated mobile app for Android

We’ve updated our mobile app to work with the most recent version of Android, as well as to incorporate our new branding. If you have the app installed already, it will update automatically to this newest version. To learn more about downloading our mobile app for Android, please see Install the TextUs mobile app for Android.

Opt-out rate alert thresholds

If your contacts frequently choose to opt out of messaging, you are at risk of being blocked by SMS providers due to your high opt-out rate. Opt-out thresholds allow you to receive alerts and even disable messaging when your 30-day opt-out rate exceeds the provider-set threshold of 1.50% in order to anticipate and avoid these restrictions.

This new feature allows you to set two different thresholds — a first alert and second alert threshold — in order to alert your organization to your heightened opt-out rate and the risk associated with it.

For more information on how to configure these thresholds, please see Managing opt-outs. To learn more about opt-out rates more broadly, please see Understanding opt-outs.
