  1. When sending text messages on the RingCentral App for End⁠-⁠Users desktop application, have it default to "Send messages individually" instead of "Create group text", like how it was for the RingCentral Phone desktop app that will be discontinued on 5/1/2026. It is rarely appropriate in a business setting to send a group text message. You would never want to text multiple customers and include other customers' phone numbers. It is a violation of privacy. In the RingCentral Phone desktop app, you could toggle the option to whichever you prefer, and it would stay that selection until you choose to change…

  2. Currently there is not a way to grant access to managers/supervisors to the SMS messages their team members send and receive. There is the ability to grant this type of access to user's call logs using User Groups. Would be great if SMS messages could be part of what is imparted with User Group permissions.

  4. After the recent Shared SMS update, all of my existing SMS message history across multiple extensions was suddenly wiped and is no longer accessible. Even after disabling Shared SMS, the previous conversation threads did not return. I am requesting a feature or capability that allows SMS history to be preserved or restored after enabling Shared SMS, or at least a way to retrieve the lost message history from the backend. This is important for maintaining communication records and ensuring continuity of business conversations.

  6. Introduce an automated SMS feature that sends personalized birthday messages to customers on their birthdays. There is no automated way to engage customers on important dates, such as birthdays, leading to missed opportunities for engagement and customer retention.

  8. Upgrade Text Messaging Features to the RCS protocol in RingCentral.

    "The latest major standard for text messaging is Rich Communication Services (RCS), which provides modern features like high-resolution media sharing and improved group chats, as an upgrade to SMS/MMS."

    This request has been made before and has been "Under Review" since April 2022. It does not take over 3 years to upgrade an app to the latest feature especially when it is widespread. RingCentral risks becoming outdated and obsolete as competitors are already using the protocol. If it's difficult to implement in the RingCentral app then perhaps consider creating a…

  11. Option to have the lists of website that cannot send short code with RingCentral or VoIP numbers. So there will be an option on our end to know if the website will support short code for VoIP numbers

  12. Disable feature when it comes to deleting Voicemails and SMS on normal users. We want to make sure all information stays in the account if they are a standard user in the system.

  13. I want to have a group SMS to our main number so that everyone in the office can access, respond, and know what is going on with the candidates we are working with. I was told we cannot do that and keep the AI receptionist, because you have to change the call queue. Seems like a silly rule. Update it so that the AI receptionist can stay active while all users are able to share one main number for text message. It's very confusing to the end user when they are receiving a text from a number different than the…

  16. Have a way to remove or disable the "Add Opt-out message" check box from the bottom of a text exchange. It does not need to apply to all text exchanges and we don't want to inadvertently check it.

  17. In RingCentral it's waste of time to save-open-enlarge jpg and pdf files. Why not to make the system so that 1 click on file opens a document that can be zoomed just using the wheel on the mouse? Saving the file is another step if it is necessary.

  19. The Admin Portal needs to have a feature where users with an extension can send a text message to the number, which will provide information depending on the users' questions, such as schedules.

    It will also be beneficial to customers to save time.

  20. It'd be nice to have an indicator that shows us when we already reached our limit for voicemail, faxes, and most especially SMS.
