Talkyto App Update: Improved MMS Handling & Future Enhancements

We are excited to announce an important improvement to the Talkyto application. This change addresses a previously identified issue that specifically affected our MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) functionality within the United States and Canada.

MMS messages sent via Twilio can only be fully delivered within the U.S. and Canada. International MMS messages are automatically converted into SMS text messages that include an embedded URL link to the media content. However, a discrepancy was identified for MMS messages delivered within the U.S. and Canada in our app.

The Talkyto app was previously configured to read only the text content of the message, leading to a misrepresentation of MMS messages within the U.S. and Canada. The associated media content was sent correctly, but the link to the media file was missing in our app, causing the message to appear incomplete.

To resolve this, we have implemented a server-side update that enhances the handling of MMS messages for users in the U.S. and Canada. This improvement has been rolled out automatically, so there's no need for you to manually update your app. Now, MMS messages within the U.S. and Canada will include a link to the media file as part of the message, ensuring that you can fully access and view all content as intended.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to share that we are working on an upcoming update that will further refine your MMS experience. This will enable media content to be displayed directly within the message, eliminating the need to follow a separate link to view images.

Our mission is to continually enhance the Talkyto experience, and this improvement is just one of many planned enhancements aimed at making communication easier and more seamless for you.

We want to extend our sincere appreciation for your continued support of Talkyto. Your experience is our priority, and we're committed to making each interaction better than the last.
