Version 4.05.01 | Android

MultiLine Android App v. 4.05.01 Release Notes

This version of MultiLine is planned for end of November.

What's New?

This release includes updates that enhance local and international calling and makes it easier to unsubscribe from unwanted messages and report spam.

Number Formatting Enhancements

This release includes changes that are part of the implementation of the E.164 international phone standard, which enhances the way the MultiLine mobile application handles phone number formats. Now when someone enters a number for a new contact or dials a number, MultiLine will prevent common formatting errors such as missing country code or extra spaces and normalize the number according to the standard. This prevents errors when sending messages or making calls to international numbers. By default, the dialer will show the country code of your MultiLine number. 

Dialing Experience

Contact Experience

For existing numbers that have been entered before this update, an error message will inform the user the number isn't in the international phone number format. 

Example of previously saved contact

Flag Application-to-Person (A2P) Messaging 

Carriers flag A2P (Application-to-Person) messages from businesses or automated systems—such as appointment reminders, promotions, and alerts—to prevent spam and protect consumers from being overwhelmed by unwanted messages. 

MultiLine will now display a banner with an "Unsubscribe" button for A2P messages. When selected, MultiLine will automatically send "STOP" to the sender. MultiLine will deliver the received confirmation message. 

SMS Spam Reporting (USA Only)

Whenever MultiLine users receive SMS from any numbers not in their contact list, MultiLine will now display a banner with a "Report as spam" button. When selected, MultiLine will report the spam for the user by sending the message and the sender's information to the mobile carrier.
