These release notes provide a list of changes in Pendo for mobile applications that affect you as they occur, so you can learn about recent changes before referencing the relevant documentation.
March 2026
Pendo tag attribute now available for iOS
You can now use the pendoTag modifier in SwiftUI to explicitly mark views with a unique identifier for Feature tagging. Previously, this attribute was only available for Android (Jetpack Compose). This makes it easier to identify and tag SwiftUI elements that the Pendo SDK doesn't automatically recognize. For more information, see Advanced settings for mobile Feature tagging.
Navigation 3 support for Jetpack Compose
You can now use Navigation 3 (androidx.navigation3) with the Pendo Android SDK in your Jetpack Compose apps. Starting with SDK 3.12, the SDK also detects navigation state automatically, removing the need to call setComposeNavigationController() during setup. These updates simplify integration and makes sure screen tracking works with Navigation 2, Navigation 3, or both. For more information, see Use Jetpack Compose low-code solution.
Dark mode for mobile guides
You can now configure dark mode for mobile guides in themes, as well as web guides. Unlike web, mobile dark mode is activated by a visitor metadata property rather than a CSS selector. You can define custom colors for the background, title, and buttons, and apply them conditionally using the selected property. For more information, see Manage guide styling with themes.
January 2026
Multiple Track Events for mobile guides
You can now activate mobile guides using multiple Track Events and event property filters. This update allows you to combine events with OR logic, similar to how segments are built. It helps you launch guides based on more complex user behavior patterns, such as triggering a guide when a user completes one of several actions or when an event includes a specific property value. This gives you more flexibility and precision when targeting users. For more information, see Create a mobile guide.
SwiftUI support for Session Replay in SDK 3.11.0+
You can now capture Session Replays in SwiftUI apps using iOS SDK version 3.11.0 or higher. This expands Session Replay support across the mobile ecosystem, so you can visualize user behavior and troubleshoot issues regardless of framework. For more information, see Overview of Session Replay.
December 2025
Block image capture in mobile replays
You can now block images in mobile replays, helping protect sensitive visual content and meet stricter privacy requirements. Image blocking prevents images from being captured during recording, ensuring sensitive imagery is never transmitted or stored while preserving interaction context for analysis and troubleshooting. For more information, see Image capture.
Identify rage clicks in mobile apps
You can now detect and analyze rage clicks in your mobile apps with SDK 3.10.0 and above, across both analytics and replays. This provides a consistent friction signal for mobile experiences, helping you pinpoint confusing UI, unresponsive controls, or performance issues. For more information, see Frustration indicators.
Vimeo (public and unlisted) video support in mobile guides
You can now embed and play Vimeo videos (public and unlisted) directly in mobile Pendo guides on iOS and Android. Videos play natively within the app, enabling secure, in-app delivery of training, onboarding, and enablement content without redirecting visitors out of your product. For more information, see Guide building blocks.
November 2025
Replay mobile interactions in Pendo
You can now use Session Replay with your mobile apps to watch real-time replays of how users interact with your product. This expands your ability to diagnose issues and understand user behavior without needing additional analytics or tools. For more information, see Overview of Session Replay.
June 2025
Ignore bundle name support for Android Feature tagging
You can now enable Ignore bundle name for Android apps, matching the existing option for iOS. This setting removes the bundle name from Feature tagging rules, making it easier to track usage across different builds or white-labeled versions of the same app. For more information, see Advanced settings for mobile Feature tagging.
May 2025
Manual page tracking for SwiftUI (beta)
You can now generate Page views manually in native iOS apps built with SwiftUI. This allows Pendo to detect navigation events that automatic tracking might miss, enabling you to tag Pages and their associated Features as expected. For more information, see Manually track Pages in SwiftUI applications.
Jetpack Compose now generally available starting from SDK version 3.6.0
Pendo’s low-code support for Jetpack Compose on Android is now generally available. You can now retroactively analyze usage, deploy in-app guides, and tag Compose-based applications using the self-serve tagging UI. For more information, see Use Jetpack Compose low-code solution.
March 2025
Improved tracking for dynamic mobile lists
You can now ignore the position (index) of Features within a list when tagging, allowing you to track specific interactions even if an item's position changes. Choose to track clicks on a specific list item or capture clicks across an entire list. This helps you accurately measure user engagement and gather reliable analytics, regardless of UI changes. For more information, see Advanced settings for mobile Feature tagging.
January 2025
Jetpack Compose SDK 3.6.0 (beta)
Pendo’s low-code support for the Jetpack Compose framework on Android is now available in open beta. This allows you to access retroactive analytics, deploy in-app guides, and use self-serve tagging for Compose-based applications. For more information, see Use Jetpack Compose low-code solution.
New flows for making a captured Page unique
Three new flows have been added to the mobile tagging experience to help make a Page unique after capturing a duplicate Page. For more information, see Tag Pages in your mobile app.
November 2024
Flutter version 3.4.2
Flutter version 3.4.2 is released. In this version, Pendo has updated the Feature identification logic, requiring all Features that were tagged in previous SDK versions to be retagged. This logic change resolves any issues that occurred with Feature identification when using obfuscation. For more information, see Use Flutter low-code solution.
October 2024
Flutter low-code solution
Flutter low-code solution is now generally available with SDK version 3.4.1. It supports tagging Pages and Features, retroactive analytics, and lightbox guides opened by a Page view or Feature click, and tooltips. For more information, see Use Flutter low-code solution.
September 2024
SDK 3.4.0
Use markdown syntax to style text in mobile guides
You can now style text in your mobile guides using markdown syntax. This is supported for the following frameworks:
- Android Native
- iOS Native

Support for iOS 18
Pendo now supports iOS 18. With new features added by Apple, Pendo has identified a backward compatibility issue relating to Features captured in iOS 18 that use accessibility identifiers, which originates from changes made by Apple in this version. If you captured Features using iOS 18 and you rely on accessibility identifiers when tagging, you might not see analytics or guides on these Features if you're using iOS17 or below.
Link to an ideas portal from your mobile guide
You can grant access to your ideas portal through a button in a mobile guide. For more information, see Engage users through an ideas portal.

- Full codeless integration with Expo router v3
- Display tooltip guides on Jetpack Compose elements using a coded approach
- Dismiss a non-full-screen guide by selecting anywhere outside of the guide
- Use
accessibilityLabelas a custom identifier for a Page
April 2024
Heatmaps
Heatmaps are now available in your mobile app as part of Suggested Features. The heatmap improves time to value for Feature tagging by providing a snapshot of the click frequency of elements in the previous 36 hours, showing how much engagement each suggested Feature has received. For more information, see Suggested Features in Tag Features in your mobile app.
