## DESCRIBE YOUR PR Updates React Native touch event docs to reflect that `accessibilityLabel`, `aria-label`, and `testID` are now automatically used as label fallbacks for touch breadcrumbs (added in [getsentry/sentry-react-native#6103](getsentry/sentry-react-native#6103)). **Changes:** - **`touchevents.mdx`**: Rewrote the "Tracking Specific Components" section to correctly distinguish between the **label** fallback chain (`sentry-label` > `labelName` > `accessibilityLabel` > `aria-label` > `testID`) and the **name** field (Babel annotation / `displayName`). Updated `labelName` option description. - **`user-interaction-instrumentation.mdx`**: Updated the label identification description to mention the full fallback chain. ## IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT? - [ ] Urgent deadline (GA date, etc.) - [ ] Other deadline - [x] None: Not urgent, can wait up to 1 week+⚠️ Should be merged after getsentry/sentry-react-native#6103 is released ## PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST - [ ] Checked Vercel preview for correctness, including links - [ ] PR was reviewed and approved by any necessary SMEs (subject matter experts) - [ ] PR was reviewed and approved by a member of the [Sentry docs team](https://github.com/orgs/getsentry/teams/docs) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Extends
getLabelValueintouchevents.tsxto readaccessibilityLabel,aria-label, andtestIDfrommemoizedPropsas fallback labels for touch breadcrumbs.Priority chain:
sentry-label> customlabelKey>accessibilityLabel>aria-label>testIDPreviously, the only way to get a meaningful label on a touch breadcrumb was to explicitly set
sentry-labelon the component — which almost nobody does. Now any app that uses accessibility labels or testIDs gets meaningful breadcrumbs out of the box.Before:
After (if accessibilityLabel is set):
This also improves Session Replay AI summaries, which rely on breadcrumb data to describe user actions.
Note on PII:
accessibilityLabelandaria-labelcan carry dynamic content (e.g.,accessibilityLabel={`Delete ${item.name}`}), so user data may appear in breadcrumbs via this path. This is consistent with existing behavior forsentry-label, which can also be dynamic.💡 Motivation and Context
Closes#6096
Customer feedback indicated that Session Replay summaries are not useful because tap breadcrumbs only show generic component hierarchies (
TouchableOpacity > Animated(View) > View > ExpoLinearGradient) with no meaningful labels. On web, the SDK captures button text and element attributes; on mobile, we were only reading the four Babel-injected props and explicitsentry-label.💚 How did you test it?
