Releasesby GlyphFeature Flag and Experiment targeting based on First Seen Timestamp
What it is: Remote evaluation for flags and experiments now includes a built-in "First Seen" user property, pulled from the amp ID table at evaluation time.

Property Category
What it is: Events in Amplitude have supported categories for some time, grouping taxonomy items into clusters like Onboarding, Checkout, or Marketing. That same support now extends to event and user properties.
Replay Insights
Description: Customers capture millions of replays, but surfacing the ones worth watching takes too much effort. Replay Insights uses AI to scan your replays at scale and surface a bird's-eye view of what's happening across your entire product: grouping issues, showing how many users are affected, and delivering actionable insights out of the box, so you...
Bookmarkable Session Replays
What it is: Bookmarking flags a replay so you can find it again later. All bookmarked replays appear in a card grid on the Introspection dashboard, organized by thumbnail, session date and time, and user ID. Bookmarked replays are also protected from auto-deletion, staying available even as others are cleared out by your retention policy.
Amplitude Wizard CLI: Agentic Onboarding for Builders
What it is: The Wizard CLI runs in your terminal via 'npx @amplitude/wizard'. It asks questions about your tech stack and what you want to track, then generates SDK configuration and setup code based on your answers.
Web Experiment: Mobile Simulator
Description: The web experiment visual editor now supports simulating various device sizes directly within the overlay. Choose from popular device presets or specify a custom width/height, enabling users to preview edits to their site in all viewports. All existing visual editor features are supported in mobile mode.
Session Replay Sentiment Filter
What it is: New sentiment filter on the Session Replay list page lets you narrow replays by sentiment without leaving the main search experience. Previously, replays with AI Summaries weren't searchable by sentiment from the list view, making sessions easy to lose unless you'd already saved the link.
Global Agent chat sidebar opens by default on large screens
Description: On screens 1600px and wider, the Global Agent chat sidebar now opens by default. If a user closes it and doesn't send 3 messages within 7 days, it will automatically reopen.
Page-Level URL Masking for Session Replay
Description: Session Replay now supports per-URL masking rules. You can override the default masking level for specific pages using glob patterns , e.g. apply Conservative masking to /checkout/** while keeping Light masking everywhere else , without changing global settings.
