+## Custom Telemetry in Compose
+
+Composable functions can run many times during recomposition. Don't send custom Sentry spans, messages,
+breadcrumbs, or other telemetry directly from a composable body, as it can duplicate telemetry or attach it
+to the wrong UI lifecycle moment.
+
+Instead, send telemetry from:
+
+- `LaunchedEffect`, `DisposableEffect`, or `SideEffect` (more info in [Google's developer docs](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/side-effects))
+- Event callbacks such as `onClick` when the telemetry corresponds to a user action
+- APIs that run after composition, such as draw-time or layout-time lambdas, when that timing is what you want to measure
+
+For example, avoid capturing a message directly from the body:
+
+```kotlin
+@Composable
+fun LoginScreen() {
+  Sentry.captureMessage("Login screen shown")
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+Instead, capture state in the body as needed but send it from an Effect API:
+
+```kotlin
+@Composable
+fun LoginScreen() {
+  val firstComposedAt = remember { Instant.now() }
+
+  LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
+    Sentry.captureMessage("Login screen shown: $firstComposedAt")
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+```
