Improved Interactive Notifications 

A Missed Call notification appears in the push notifications of your iOS device. This feature informs you when there is a missed call, without the need to open the RingCentral Phone Mobile App. It lets you return the call or view your missed calls using the interactive notification buttons. The app's Call Log badge displays the number of unread missed calls.

A Join Now notification appears before the scheduled meeting or conference starts. A left swipe on the notification allows you to view the meeting details. On the other hand, a right swipe on the notification enables you to join the audio conference or online meeting right away with a single tap without entering the access code.

Send a quick reply to a RingCentral Phone Mobile App text message straight from the notification tray without launching your Mobile app. This feature is available for iOS 9 or later.

Save time by sending custom reply messages to the meeting's host or participant/s to notify them about changes in your estimated time of arrival (ETA).

Incoming call notifications are enhanced with condensed wordings. An incoming call was previously displayed as "Incoming Call from." This was shortened to show "Call from." A concise call control button is available to avoid confusion.

Incoming VoIP Calling

• Incoming VOIP calls is turned OFF by default for both Wi-Fi and 3G or 4G LTE connections

• Notification for the Desktop App and SmartPhone option must be enabled for inbound VOIP calling to work

• Rings on the mobile phone is the same with the desktop app, i.e. when you are receiving a call on your desktop app, if the incoming VOIP Calling is enabled, your iOS app will also ring, regardless if your iOS number is included in your forwarding numbers.

• Inbound VoIP rings along with the user's desktop app and continues to ring until Answered up or Rejected

• If the call is ignored, follows call forwarding rules as usual

• Reject action stops all forwarding rules and sends the call to Voicemail if VM is enabled

• Voice quality on 3G/4G LTE depends on network data quality i.e., If the user moves away from a from good coverage area to a bad coverage area (i.e. driving in a car), 3G calls may suffer voice quality

• Great way for mobile users to know whether an incoming call is a RingCentral call or not

• Inbound ringing profiles use iOS phone settings

• The ring tone is the same as the iOS phone ringtone

• Support for vibrate mode

• Outbound VOIP calling is turned ON by default for the Wi-Fi connection
