Release notes.
New features, improvements and fixes in Talkala.
October 2026
v1.11.2Contacts keeps your selected results, totals and loaded contacts consistent when updates finish late.
Fixes
Contacts stay on the results you choose
An import or contact update that finished late could bring back older results after you changed your search or filter. Contacts now keeps the results you chose, with matching totals and the right contacts when you load more.
v1.11.1Delayed top-ups add credit after payment confirmation.
Fixes
Delayed top-ups add credit after confirmation
For payment methods that confirm after checkout, successful confirmation now adds the purchased credit and any eligible bonus to the correct personal or Team Wallet. This includes a new Team's first payment. Repeated or late updates do not add the same credit twice.
v1.11.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.10.0Security update for Talkala.
Security
Security dependency update
Updated a server component to better protect sensitive information when requests are redirected.
v1.9.0More reliable Messages inbox switching and loading.
Fixes
Messages stay with the selected inbox
A failed inbox switch could leave conversations from the previous number on screen. Switching now clears the old conversations, keeps older pages with the correct inbox and ignores delayed responses from earlier selections.
Recover from an inbox loading error
If Messages cannot load at first, it now tries again automatically and offers Retry without reloading the page. A loading failure no longer appears as a missing number or an empty inbox.
v1.8.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.7.1Paid number invoices keep their correct status and totals.
Fixes
Paid invoices stay paid
A delayed payment update could make a paid personal or Team number invoice appear failed and lower the totals shown in billing. Paid invoices now keep their paid status and recorded totals when updates arrive late or more than once.
v1.7.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.6.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.5.0Payment disputes stay with the correct wallet.
Fixes
Payment disputes affect the right wallet
A disputed Team payment could restrict the payer's personal wallet when the payment arrived before Team credit was recorded. Talkala now links the dispute to the correct wallet. Resolving a dispute restores access only when that wallet has no other unresolved or lost disputes.
v1.4.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.3.1Automatic refills after incoming calls recover from interrupted requests.
Fixes
Reliable refills after incoming calls
Automatic wallet refills can now recover from interrupted requests without creating duplicate payments. Your wallet receives the credit once the payment is confirmed.
v1.3.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.2.2Team Auto Top-up payments complete correctly when Team ownership changes.
Fixes
Automatic top-ups stay with the Team after an ownership transfer
If ownership changes while an automatic top-up is in progress, the completed payment is now added to the same Team Wallet. Payment history keeps the original payer, and the new owner receives the top-up notification.
v1.2.1Account sign-in protection and more reliable shared Team credit.
Security
Google sign-in follows your current account email
Google sign-in now checks the current email on your Talkala account. If you corrected your email during sign-up, signing in with that Google email keeps your existing account, credit and call history. Sessions that no longer match the account email require you to sign in again.
Fixes
Team calls reserve the credit they need
Outgoing Team calls now set aside enough credit for their full allowed duration, so other members cannot use credit already reserved for that call. A long call may leave less shared credit available until it ends. You are charged for the connected time under the existing billing rules, and unused reserved credit becomes available again after the call is settled.
v1.2.0
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.1.6
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.1.5Clearer explanations when a call cannot connect.
Fixes
Understand why a call failed
Call messages now distinguish known destination restrictions, unsupported numbers, and connection problems. Restricted destinations no longer get advice to keep retrying, and general failures no longer automatically blame your browser. The Help Center explains what to check next.
v1.1.4
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.1.3Automatic connection selection for browser calls.
Improvements
A nearby connection for your calls
Talkala now lets Twilio select a nearby connection point for browser calls, instead of trying U.S. locations first. This can reduce delay, depending on your network.
v1.1.2Clearer call checks, payment confirmation and retries when information cannot refresh.
Improvements
Check an uncertain call connection again
When Talkala cannot confirm the connection, choose Check again to recheck the existing call. It does not restart the call. Check that you and the other person can hear each other; this check cannot confirm what either person hears.
Ask for help with a specific call
Open a call in History or Team Activity and choose Get help with this call. The support form includes its call reference, so you can describe what happened and send the request when ready.
See when top-up credit is recorded
After a personal top-up, Wallet distinguishes a confirmed payment from credit recorded in your balance. While credit is pending, it shows progress and checks for a short time. If it still has not appeared, use Check payment status or Get help before making another payment. The confirmation also has a larger close button.
Retry without losing what you entered
If Wallet, History or Contacts cannot refresh, a compact notice lets you retry while keeping entered amounts, searches and filters. Information already loaded stays visible with a warning that it may be out of date.
Fixes
Keep the header balance current after leaving Wallet
A slow Wallet refresh could finish after you left the page and replace the header balance with an older amount. Talkala now ignores that delayed response.
v1.1.1Fewer unnecessary microphone warnings when switching audio.
Fixes
Microphone warnings during audio switches
Talkala now briefly rechecks microphone input before showing a warning, allowing short changes between headphones and your phone to settle. A microphone that remains unavailable still shows guidance.
v1.1.0Check your microphone and sound before calling, with calling and security fixes.
New features
Check your microphone and sound before calling
Open Test mic & sound on Phone to see your microphone level and play a test sound through your device's default output. The optional check stays on your device and does not place a call or test the phone network.
Fixes
Feedback after an answered outgoing call
The optional sound-quality question could be missing after an eligible outgoing call ended. It now appears when that call is eligible for feedback.
Browser calling update
Updated the calling library with fixes for reconnection error reporting and handling an audio output device becoming unavailable.
Security updates
Updated image processing and supporting software
Updated image-processing and supporting software to address reported security issues.
v1.0.9
Internal maintenance. No changes to customer-facing features.
v1.0.8A simpler Team creation screen.
Improvements
Set up a Team with less clutter
The Team creation form uses less space, with name and image guidance below the Team name field.
v1.0.7Clearer Team activity and more reliable Contacts pages.
Improvements
Review Team calls and spending more easily
The compact spending chart leaves more room for activity, and the filters make better use of the available space. Expand an entry to see its recorded call and billing details.
Recognize saved Team contacts
Names and available photos from your Team address book appear alongside matching destination numbers in Activity.
Fixes
Open Contacts without a temporary error
Personal and Team Contacts could briefly show a loading error when opened or refreshed before recovering. Their initial load now succeeds.
v1.0.6Clearer Wallet controls and tidier call summaries.
Improvements
Clearer confirmation when removing a saved card
Removing your Auto Top-up card previously opened a browser popup with a generic OK button. It now opens a Talkala dialog with clear Cancel and Remove card buttons and explains what happens to automatic top-ups.
Tidier call feedback
Call summaries now use a slimmer card with clearly labelled duration and charge details. The outgoing call screen shows a flag beside the destination country, and the Phone balance warning sits beside its label.
Cleaner Wallet cards
The Wallet balance card has a subtle Talkala symbol with soft shading. The paused Smart Auto Top-up message now has a pause icon and clearer spacing beside the title.
v1.0.5A tidier call screen with saved contact pictures.
Improvements
Keep call time beside the call status
The call timer now stays beside the call status at the top of the Phone screen, whether the keypad is open or closed. This leaves more room for the caller details and controls.
See saved contact pictures during calls
The outgoing Phone screen now shows pictures from the contacts loaded in the dialer. Team incoming calls and notices show a saved picture when the caller’s number matches a contact in the receiving Team. Call pictures also fit their round frame correctly. When no picture is available, the usual fallback remains.
September 2026
v1.0.4Further fixes for calls ending early, plus clearer microphone setup.
Fixes
Calls ending early despite available credit
Some paid personal calls still ended at around three minutes after the previous fix, even with enough credit. This update fixes the remaining problem that prevented those calls from using more available credit. Normal balance and call limits still apply.
One microphone warning with readable buttons
If microphone access is denied, Talkala shows one warning instead of repeating it. The setup buttons stay on separate rows so their text is readable.
v1.0.3A fix for calls ending too early and a clearer balance on the Phone page.
Fixes
Calls ending at around three minutes
Some paid personal calls ended at about three minutes even with enough credit. This release addressed one cause. Some calls still ended early; the remaining case is addressed in version 1.0.4. Normal call limits still apply.
Reserved credit on the Phone balance card
During a call, the large balance card now shows how much credit is temporarily reserved, making a drop in available balance easier to understand. This credit has not been charged; unused reserved credit becomes available again after the call ends and its final charge is confirmed.
v1.0.2Fixed calls being recorded as connected too early, and added security updates.
Stability fixes
Record a connection only when it is confirmed
Some calls could be recorded as connected while they were still being set up. Talkala now waits for confirmation that the call connected. Call records also keep the correct start time, so activity reports show when calls actually began.
Keep the software behind Talkala up to date
Updated software used by Talkala to include published security fixes. You do not need to change any settings.
v1.0.1Fixed too much credit being set aside at the start of a personal call, and made reserved credit easier to see.
Improvements
Set aside less credit when a call starts
A paid personal call could temporarily set aside enough credit for up to four hours, making your available balance look much lower even for a short call. Eligible calls now start by setting aside up to three minutes of credit, adding small amounts as the call continues and your balance and call limits allow. The final charge is still based on connected time, rounded up to whole minutes. Unused reserved credit is released once that charge is confirmed.
See reserved credit at the top of the page
The small balance display at the top of the page now shows credit temporarily set aside for a call separately from your available balance. You can see how much you can spend and how much is reserved for the call. When nothing is reserved, only your normal balance appears.
v1.0.0Call real phone numbers abroad, manage prepaid credit, and share calling with your Team from your browser. Version 1.0 includes the features below, along with improvements to mobile calling, setup and payments.
What is included
Call abroad from your browser
Enter a mobile or landline number, see the price per minute before calling, and call from your browser without installing a calling app.
Try your first call for free
Eligible new accounts can try one free call lasting up to 60 seconds before adding a card. The offer applies only to destinations and call prices covered by the free-minute offer.
See your balance and call costs
Add calling credit before you use it, check your available balance and past payments, and see what each completed call cost.
Add credit during a personal call
For eligible paid personal calls, credit added to your wallet can let the call continue beyond its original balance limit once the payment is confirmed. Other call limits still apply. If you have already turned Auto Top-up on, it can also add credit automatically when your balance gets low, including during eligible calls.
Use your own Talkala number
Manage a personal Talkala number, choose the number you show when calling, and read text messages sent to your Talkala number. Where receiving calls is available, turn it on and keep your browser ready so calls to your number can ring there.
Keep calls and contacts organized
Save people you call as contacts and find recent calls easily. Review call details alongside the credit added to or spent from your wallet.
Share a Team workspace
Create a Team, invite people, and share calling credit and contacts. Members can use Team numbers and messages according to the permissions given to them.
Receive calls with your Team
Owners and admins can turn on receiving for eligible paid U.S. and Canada Team numbers and choose up to ten teammates to answer. Their browsers ring together when they are available and ready; the first person to answer takes the call. Answered calls use Team credit, and require enough Team balance and room within that member's calling limit.
Earn credit from referrals
Share your referral link. When someone uses it to sign up and adds credit to their wallet for the first time with a successful payment, you receive calling credit.
Improvements
Easier to use Phone on a small screen
Call notices, controls and summaries are easier to read. On smaller screens, it is also easier to switch Teams and reach the calling controls.
Choose a picture for yourself or your Team
Choose a profile picture or upload your own photo. New Teams start with an illustrated picture, and owners or admins can choose another or upload an image. Existing Teams keep their current picture or initials until someone changes it.
Clearer setup screens
Calling and wallet labels are easier to read, adding your first card is clearer, and Team name and picture setup is easier to use. Auto Top-up lets you choose a balance trigger down to the cent, such as $5.50. Tutorials appear beside the settings they explain, including the Auto Top-up guide in Wallet.
Stability fixes
Return to a mobile call more reliably
Talkala handles returning after your phone locks or you switch apps, and changing between Wi-Fi and mobile data, more reliably. On supported devices and browsers, it can also keep the screen awake during a call.
Clear the call screen when a call ends
A finished call could leave an old call screen behind. It now clears after the call ends, so Phone is ready for the next call.
Handle repeated or late payment updates correctly
Updates about payments and finished calls can arrive late or more than once. Talkala handles these updates more reliably so your balance and history reflect the payment or call correctly.
Security fixes
Check who can use account and Team information
Strengthened checks that you are signed in and have permission before you change account details or access shared Team information.
