    Genesys Cloud – February 23, 2026

    Feature availability may vary and is based on factors such as, but not limited to, region readiness, product licensing, and the Genesys release schedule. For more information, see the Genesys Cloud release schedule.

    Upcoming end of native support for select Google and Microsoft TTS voices 

    AI Agents

    Contact Center

    Genesys Cloud plans to end native Enhanced Text-to-Speech (TTS) support for select Google and Microsoft voices on August 5, 2026. The affected voices are:

    • Google WaveNet and Neural Voices
    • Microsoft Azure Neural Voices
    • Google Standard TTS Voices

    After this date, Genesys Cloud will treat these voices as third-party integrations. To continue using them, you must migrate to the Google TTS or Microsoft Azure TTS integrations available through AppFoundry. These integrations are billed under the Bring Your Own TTS – A (BYOT-A) model. Review the updated deprecation announcement for timelines, pricing changes, and the actions you need to take to maintain text-to-speech functionality.

    Attempt control enhancements 

    Outbound Campaigns & Dialer

    Customer engagement

    Administrators can now configure outbound attempt controls with greater precision by setting phone type–specific attempt limits, extending recall times, and adjusting reset periods. They can define separate attempt limits for each phone number type (predefined and custom), configure recall times up to 30 days after the initial call (previously limited to 480 minutes), and set attempt limit reset periods between 2 and 30 days. These enhancements provide greater control over redial eligibility, reduce unnecessary same-day callbacks, and help align outreach cadence with regional practices and customer preferences.

    Enhanced outbound WhatsApp messaging performance 

    Third-Party Digital Channels

    Customer engagement

    Genesys Cloud now supports outbound WhatsApp messaging at up to 18,000 messages per minute per organization for outbound campaigns and up to 3,000 messages per minute per organization for agentless API messages. This throughput helps to ensure reliable, low-latency delivery for time-sensitive communications, such as event-triggered notifications (for example, outage alerts, fraud notifications, and appointment reminders) and high-volume, scheduled outreach (for example, billing notices, policy updates, safety instructions, and seasonal promotions). This improvement helps organizations in sectors such as government, utilities, financial services, healthcare, and retail maintain consistent communication during peak demand, while aligning with Meta Cloud API throughput guidelines for compliant, predictable performance.

    Architect journey flows data limit visibility and guidance improvements 

    Journey Management

    Data, analytics, and reporting

    Architect journey flows now provide clearer messaging when visualizations reach their limits or become unavailable due to high data volume. These improvements help users better understand why certain journey views are unavailable and set clear expectations when working with complex or high-volume flows. Requests that exceed the supported payload limits now return HTTP 413 (Payload Too Large) instead of HTTP 200. This update aligns response behavior with standard HTTP semantics and improves the handling of large data sets.

This capability helps organizations enrich interactions with business‑specific data in a structured way, and then search and analyze those conversations using that data to support reporting, governance, and automation.

    Introducing Channel Insights dashboard 

    Analytics and Reporting

    Data, analytics, and reporting

    Supervisors can now use the Channel Insights dashboard to view cross-channel adoption and performance metrics for voice, digital messaging, email, and chat in a single place.

This helps supervisors and business leaders quickly assess how digital channels perform compared with voice and decide where to extend digital usage or focus on improvements.

    Configure combined voice utilization for ACD and non-ACD calls 

    Unified Communication & Collaboration

    Employee productivity

    Telephony administrators can now configure a user's voice utilization so that ACD and non-ACD calls count toward a single utilization limit. When enabled, a user who is active on an ACD call does not receive alerts for incoming non-ACD calls after their active call count meets the configured threshold. When administrators configure the new Active Call Enforcement field in Utilization Settings, then Genesys Cloud does not send alerts when the user's active sessions reach or exceed that number. The setting is available at both the organization and user level and applies equally to ACD and non-ACD calls.

    Deprecation: Mobile Messenger legacy Android and iOS code removal 

    Mobile Apps (Insights)

    Deprecations

    On August 11, 2025, Genesys announced that it would deprecate and remove the legacy code from the Mobile Messenger SDK on February 23, 2026. Genesys has postponed the deprecation and removal to March 9, 2026. The deprecated code originates from the original BOLD SDK and includes internal classes, methods, and interfaces that were not intended for public use. This change helps keep the SDK clean, well-documented, and easier to maintain. The removal does not affect any documented or supported functionality. Developers should verify that their implementations do not rely on any undocumented legacy components, as these will be removed in an upcoming release. Genesys recommends reviewing SDK usage to prepare for this change. More details about the timing and impact will be provided in a future release note.
