Summary

Introducing Mobile Screenshots | Sentry` Nobody likes using an unstable mobile app or even worse, an app that crashes on them. In fact, 9 out of 10 US and UK consumers report uninstalling a mobile application due to poor performance. Crash rates and snappy experiences matter for all applications, but especially for mobile apps. Mobile app crashes and poor performance not only cause users to abandon an app but can also trigger the app to be ranked lower in Apple App Store and Google Play Store search results. Just knowing your users experienced a crash or janky experience is helpful, but what if you could see the exact screen displayed before the application crashed? Sentry for iOS, Android, and Unity will now capture screenshots before the exception was fired. Screenshots for mobile show you what the user was looking at when the error happened, allowing you to see it for yourself. The screenshots feature is available in the latest versions of the Sentry Android, iOS and Unity SDKs, after updating the SDK and enabling screenshots, events will start capturing the screen users saw before the application crashed. This helps you better understand the customer experience and solve issues quickly before things start to spiral. All Sentry plans come with 1GB/month for attachment data, so if you plan on enabling screenshot attachments, be sure to update your attachment quota.
