FAQ Analytics 3

Here are some frequently asked questions following our recent announcement about Analytics 3

 

Why do I see K as a Device Type on the Engagement dashboard?

Google is rolling out a change to Chrome’s behavior with User-Agent headers, which includes a new generic model name ‘K.’ This change, part of the User-Agent Client Hints proposal, is gradually replacing the more varied User-Agent headers traditionally sent by Chrome browsers. As of May 2023, this new behavior affects Android 10 devices and is expected to dominate traffic for most websites throughout 2023. It’s important to note that ‘K’ is not tied to a specific Android model but is a placeholder within the User-Agent string.
