Here’s what the team is up to.
Latest update
Nov 2024
You can now trigger and pause recordings on URLs or events
Thanks to Paul, it's now possible to start recording a session based on a specific event and pause recordings on particular URLs.
This is especially useful if, for example, you want to start a recording only when a user signs up but have particular pages you don't want to capture for privacy reasons.
It's also handy if you generally want to limit the number of recordings you capture, as you can now focus on recording your most important events - not just particular URLs.
Up next
Flutter session recording
We have recently released Mobile Replay for native iOS and Android. We are considering supporting mobile Flutter apps as well.

This is the call to action.
If nothing else has sold you on PostHog, hopefully these classic marketing tactics will.
