- Split beforeErrorSampling link to point to both Android and React Native SDK docs separately - Fix replay buffer duration: specify '30 seconds on iOS' instead of incorrectly generalizing to all mobile platforms
…atforms The feedback replay buffer is 30 seconds on all mobile SDKs (iOS, Android, React Native), not just iOS. The 60-second buffer applies only to web. Updated replay-details.mdx to distinguish web vs mobile instead of singling out iOS.
Reword the cross-link to the JavaScript SDK's manual session control so it's clear this applies to browser-based or hybrid apps, not native mobile developers.

small note but non blocking ✅
| Replays are integrated with other parts of the Sentry product so you can see how the user experience is impacted by errors and slow transactions. You'll see session replays associated with error events on the [Issue Details](/product/issues/issue-details/) page, and those associated with slow transactions on the [Transaction Summary](/product/dashboards/sentry-dashboards/transaction-summary/) page. For [backend error replays](/product/session-replay/web/#replays-for-backend-errors), any contributing backend errors will be included in the replay's timeline, [breadcrumbs](/product/issues/issue-details/breadcrumbs/), and errors. | ||
| - **Full session context** — See clicks, navigations, scrolls, and input in relation to network requests, console logs, and DOM mutations. | ||
| - **DOM state inspection** — Click on any element in the replay player to inspect the underlying DOM tree, including HTML structure and attributes, at that point in time. | ||
| - **Error and trace correlation** — Replays are linked to errors on the [Issue Details](/product/issues/issue-details/) page and slow transactions on the [Transaction Summary](/product/dashboards/sentry-dashboards/transaction-summary/) page. [Backend errors](/product/session-replay/web/#replays-for-backend-errors) are included in the replay timeline, [breadcrumbs](/product/issues/issue-details/breadcrumbs/), and error list. |
