 ### Features
 
 - Add native stack frame address information and debug image metadata to ANR events ([#4061](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/4061))
-  - This enables symbolication for stripped native code in ANRs
+    - This enables symbolication for stripped native code in ANRs
+- Add Continuous Profiling Support ([#3710](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/3710))
+
+  To enable Continuous Profiling use the `Sentry.startProfileSession` and `Sentry.stopProfileSession` experimental APIs. Sampling rate can be set through `options.profileSessionSampleRate`, which defaults to null (disabled).   
+  Note: Both `options.profilesSampler` and `options.profilesSampleRate` must **not** be set to enable Continuous Profiling.
+
+  ```java
+  import io.sentry.ProfileLifecycle;
+  import io.sentry.android.core.SentryAndroid;
+
+  SentryAndroid.init(context) { options ->
+
+    // Currently under experimental options:
+    options.getExperimental().setProfileSessionSampleRate(1.0);
+    // In manual mode, you need to start and stop the profiler manually using Sentry.startProfileSession and Sentry.stopProfileSession
+    // In trace mode, the profiler will start and stop automatically whenever a sampled trace starts and finishes
+    options.getExperimental().setProfileLifecycle(ProfileLifecycle.MANUAL);
+  }
+  // Start profiling
+  Sentry.startProfileSession();
+
+  // After all profiling is done, stop the profiler. Profiles can last indefinitely if not stopped.
+  Sentry.stopProfileSession();
+  ```
+  ```kotlin
+  import io.sentry.ProfileLifecycle
+  import io.sentry.android.core.SentryAndroid
+
+  SentryAndroid.init(context) { options ->
+
+    // Currently under experimental options:
+    options.experimental.profileSessionSampleRate = 1.0
+    // In manual mode, you need to start and stop the profiler manually using Sentry.startProfileSession and Sentry.stopProfileSession
+    // In trace mode, the profiler will start and stop automatically whenever a sampled trace starts and finishes
+    options.experimental.profileLifecycle = ProfileLifecycle.MANUAL
+  }
+  // Start profiling
+  Sentry.startProfileSession()
+
+  // After all profiling is done, stop the profiler. Profiles can last indefinitely if not stopped.
+  Sentry.stopProfileSession()
+  ```
