Automatically collected events are triggered by basic interactions with your app and/or site (as indicated under the event name in the table below). As long as you use the Google Analytics for Firebase SDK or gtag.js, you don't need to write any additional code to collect these events.
Analytics collects events for Android and iOS apps unless otherwise stated. The names and parameters of these events can be helpful when accessing your raw event data in BigQuery.
Note
The following parameters are collected by default with every event, including custom events. The automatically collected events that don't have parameters listed in the table below only receive the following parameters:
- language
- page_location
- page_referrer
- page_title
- screen_resolution
The value assigned to event parameters must be 100 characters or fewer; however, the page_location, page_referrer and page_title parameters must be 300 characters or fewer.
