Enable user metrics for your apps

Enabling user metrics will give you access to new data and powerful reports, such as the rewarded report, that may help inform your monetization strategy. 

AdMob will begin reporting on sessions per user, session duration, ad exposure per session, daily active users (DAU), and more. Over time, as user metrics evolve, additional metrics and report types will become available.

To unlock these benefits, you’ll need to install the latest Google Mobile Ads SDK (18.1.0 or later for Android, 7.44 or later for iOS) and enable user metrics in the AdMob user interface. 

Instructions

Before you can enable user metrics, you must install the latest Google Mobile Ads SDK version: 

• 18.1.0 or later for Android 
• 7.44 or later for iOS 

Enable user metrics for all or multiple apps

1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://apps.admob.com.

3. Click View all apps.
4. Click the checkbox beside the app(s) you want to enable user metrics for, or click the top checkbox to automatically select all the apps.

Enable user metrics for individual apps

1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://apps.admob.com.

Data usage

In order to provide accurate measurements, the Google Mobile Ads SDK will begin sending events at app start. Data will be collected automatically but will not be further processed for reporting or ad serving unless you decide to enable user metrics functionality in the AdMob front end.

You may need to take action before sending data to Google. For example, if you have users in the European Economic Area (EEA), please take the opportunity to review your EU consent implementation, the Google EU User Consent Policy and the corresponding Google Mobile Ads SDK developer docs. The SDK includes functionality that allows you to delay sending events (Android, iOS) until you initialize the SDK.
