Roadmap & changelog

Here’s what the team is up to.

Latest update

Mar 2024

Session replay support added for Flutter Web

Supposedly we've had session replay on Flutter Web environments for a while, but it was actually a little broken due to a bug in RRWeb.

Well, now we've fixed the bug.

That means session replay is now back and working as you'd expect on Flutter Web environments. Enjoy!

Up next

  • Android 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 Android devices.

    Milestones

    No updates yet. Engineers are currently hard at work, so check back soon!

  • 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.

This is the call to action.

If nothing else has sold you on PostHog, hopefully these classic marketing tactics will.
