Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for mobile apps tracks user interactions within your app, providing valuable data on user behaviour, app performance, and marketing campaign effectiveness. As of early 2026, this data is crucial for optimising your app and maximising return on investment.
- Firebase Integration: GA4 now features seamless integration with Firebase, Google’s mobile development platform, simplifying data collection for both iOS and Android apps.
- Event-Based Data Model: GA4 focuses on events – any user interaction – rather than session-based data, offering a more flexible and granular understanding of app usage.
- Enhanced Measurement: Automatic tracking of common events like first_open, session_start, and user_engagement is standard, reducing the need for extensive custom coding.
- Privacy Controls: GA4 is built with user privacy in mind, offering features to comply with Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and evolving data regulations.
In 2026, Australian businesses are increasingly focused on data-driven decision-making, and understanding app user behaviour is paramount. Current systems include robust consent management features within GA4, allowing you to obtain and manage user consent for data collection in line with Australian law. Furthermore, GA4’s predictive metrics, like churn probability, can help you proactively engage users and improve retention rates.
