Top devices, browsers and operating systems
The Browsers, Operating Systems and Devices tabs show the screen size, browser and operating system (OS) of your visitors. They help you identify and understand the type of device your visitors use the most often so you can optimize your website experience to them. Click on any particular entry to filter the dashboard by that traffic and see further details such as the browser or OS version.
You can click the expand icon in the top right to see the full list with additional details like "Visitors", "%", "Bounce Rate", and "Visit Duration". Click on any such metric heading to sort and arrange your data in ascending or descending order.
You can use the Filter button on the top of your dashboard to segment the traffic by multiple devices at the same time. Filter button also allows you to filter out traffic from specific devices.
