Session replay

"I was watching session recordings for our sign-up page and realized a lot of people were trying to click something that wasn’t actually a button. We wouldn’t have noticed that needed fixing without PostHog’s session recordings."

Roadmap

Here's what the Session Recording Team is building next.

  • iOS session recording

    There are many recording tools out there for web and different tools for mobile -- but few for both. So, we are considering a mobile recording solution for iOS devices.

    Progress
  • Network / Performance recording

    Track network calls and performance alongside session recordings. Beta available - DM Alex Kim in posthog.com/slack!
