[Amitdutta121]

I am waiting for this feature.

[millro04]

Are there any plans for this to be implemented soon, or is it just a wish for now?

[krystofwoldrich]

At the moment we are collecting information and we don't have a specific timeline.

[yolpsoftware]

Please do this!

[dwd]

Very much wanted!

[harrisrobin]

we want it

[marandaneto]

@bruno-garcia was that supposed to be closed?

[bruno-garcia]

It was closed accidentally due to a Jira integration. We're still tracking demand here and considering this but no plans or commitment yet. For context; We just launched the Web support a few weeks ago. Hope y'all with a website are using it and let us know how it's going.

[thomsocialbrothers]

We really need this! In React Native, debugging is so much harder and error messages are a lot more vague than than in regular web development. This would really be a gem for the teams maintaining React Native projects.

[rpinna]

+1, love the web replay, it's sad when we get an RN error

[Avery246813579]

+1

[mxkh]

+1, web replays are fantastic. We're waiting for the session replays for RN!

[simnon]

This would be great to get for RN, such a powerful feature

[ryan-k-swyftx]

Would love to see this for RN, it's something we'd be looking at replacing fullstory with but until it's a replacement for web and mobile it's likely not on the cards.

[alfonsosn]

+1 on this thread. Even if to begin with, we were just able to track javascript elements.

[joelbarnard]

+1 our organization needs this feature

[GBR-422777]

any idea when this could happen?

[krystofwoldrich]

@GBR-422777 We do not have a timeline at the moment.

[tuanngocptn]

+1 for this function.

[mefallit]

+1 session replay for RN might help us a lot!

[pbocian-switch503]

please add to react native

[alirazashopdev]

My organization needs.

[rampazzo1989]

We are studying other solutions, if you add this to RN that would be really great.

[Oliver-Saer]

Adding React Native support for this would be a strong driving factor for my organisation to integrate with this feature.

[hvlong]

Our project is using another tool to record sessions. +1 to use session replay available on Sentry

[amit-bs23]

@hvlong Which tool are you using to record sessions?

[instakash]

We really need this feature!

[Maker-Mark]

Desperate need of this feature--would save hours of time and would be great to get without going who another provider .

[ryskin-taskie]

We need this!

[Oliver-Saer]

@bruno-garcia It was almost 7 months ago since this thread was first created. Have there been any further discussions internally about making this feature a reality? Is there any timeline that you might be able to offer at this stage?

[smlarkin]

@bruno-garcia we are using LogRocket for session replay, which is mostly a replacement for Sentry error logging.

However, if Sentry were to support RN session replay, that would be a more compelling / default choice -- especially since you handle native crashes as well.

Is there any updates on if this might happen ?

[bruno-garcia]

@smlarkin this is a great endorsement! We definitely take that into consideration when discussing the investment to this feature!

@Oliver-Saer We don't have a timeline yet. The team has been focused on the Web support at this point. Including Search, overhead and more.

It's worth mentioning that building this would be a multi-quarter effort, involving several people. Not much of what we built for Web support would be reused here, and deciding to invest on this would put us on course for a long term product development and support.

All the validation that this feature is wanted by the community (thank you all for that) is really, really great! And definitely gets me and many other folks at Sentry excited about the prospect of building this.

I'll keep this thread posted when we get any motion in supporting this!

[ericchen0121]

+1 session replay would be amazing for RN. Currently integrating sentry for error tracking and there are some issues that we've been having with the app that I think don't trigger an error. Would be great to have this feature

Could you elaborate a bit on what kind of issues those are? I wonder if there could be some level of detection built in place. Similar to how we're doing Dead and Rage Clicks on Replay for Web.

[makirby]

Would love to see session replay available in sentry for native apps.

Would love to see session replay available in sentry for native apps.

We're tracking tickets for different platforms: Android, iOS, React Native, Flutter, .NET MAUI

[jonatandorozco]

@bruno-garcia I'm in the same situation of @smlarkin.

I already use Sentry for most of the products I've built. However for mobile apps Session Replay is almost necessary, and the only reasonable provider is LogRocket. If we can have it for RN and Flutter I'm pretty sure Sentry will be our first option to work with (Taking into account we already use it for issue tracking and tracing)

[NiharR27]

• 1 would be great to have this in RN :)

[andrewtremblay]

Currently we rely on UXCam for session recordings. It would be much more convenient for us to remove that dependency and have sentry take over that responsibility for us.

[robertoyoc]

+1 integrating replays and issue tracking in the same place would be awesome

[firebulb]

+1 for this integration. The web replays give much needed context for some of the harder to solve bugs, which would be highly benefitial in the RN environment also.

[petrusvanegeraat]

We're happy with the Sentry RN SDK. This is the only feature we feel is missing.

Our only concern is that it will not increase the app size / memory usage too much since our user base is primarily active on low end android devices.

Even so, session replay would help significantly and even reduce our costs since we could exclude lots of transactions types and rely mostly on this integration for debugging.

[rikur]

This would be extremely helpful to have

[Lawanya-juakali]

Would be extremely helpful to have in RN

[PavelBastov]

👍 for having it in React Native!

[aLotlBit]

Would be great to have!

[bruno-garcia]

We'll have an update for you folks soon. :)
