Good observability helps you understand what’s happening, but our previous logs made it hard to see the full picture. Debugging often meant searching, filtering, and manually piecing together trends. Spotting a spike in failures or a drop in message volume shouldn’t take that much effort.
The new logs histogram makes this easier. Instead of scanning rows of data, you get a real-time visual overview of message activity. Spikes, dips, and failures stand out instantly, so you can quickly diagnose issues and get back to work.

Now, trends are instantly visible. You can:
For example, if you notice a failure spike at 3:14 PM yesterday, you can zoom into that period, immediately see what happened.
The histogram provides an overview of message activity over time, making it easy to track volume, identify trends, and spot failures.

Whether you're debugging a real-time incident or reviewing historical trends, the histogram helps you find what you need faster—without searching through raw logs.
The histogram is live now in the Courier dashboard. If you’re already using Courier, head to Logs to explore your message activity with an instant visual overview.
We’d love to hear your feedback—let us know how the histogram improves your workflow or what you'd like to see next.

How to Use WhatsApp Typing Indicators on Twilio (Public Beta Guide)
Twilio now supports typing indicators for WhatsApp. When your backend takes a few seconds to generate a response, you can show users that something's happening instead of leaving them staring at a silent chat. The indicator appears when you call the new /v2/Indicators/Typing endpoint, automatically marks the message as read, and disappears after your response arrives or 25 seconds pass. This guide covers the API details, implementation patterns for Node.js and Python, when to use typing indicators, and current beta limitations.
