+title: New Application Categories added for HTTP Traffic Management
+description: Manage outbound traffic with more granular application categories
+date: 2025-10-28
+---
+
+To give you precision and flexibility while creating policies to block unwanted traffic, we are introducing new, more granular application categories in the Gateway product. 
+
+We have added the following categories to provide more precise organization and allow for finer-grained policy creation, designed around how users interact with different types of applications:
+
+- Business
+- Education
+- Entertainment & Events
+- Food & Drink
+- Health & Fitness
+- Lifestyle
+- Navigation
+- Photography & Graphic Design
+- Travel
+
+The new categories are live now, but we are providing a transition period for existing applications to be fully remapped to these new categories. 
+
+The full remapping will be completed by January 30, 2026.
+
+We encourage you to use this time to:
+
+- Review the new category structure.
+- Identify and adjust any existing HTTP policies that reference older categories to ensure a smooth transition.
+
+For more information on creating HTTP policies, refer to [Applications and app types](/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/application-app-types/).
