 ### Features
 
+- Copy `app.vitals.start.screen` and `app.vitals.start.type` onto standalone `app.start` children, including user spans under `app.start.extended` ([#6631](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/6631))
 - `featureFlagsIntegration` now forwards flag evaluations to the native SDKs, so flags are attached to native crashes too ([#6613](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/6613))
