Ad Group Operating System Restriction

[Lonny Kapelushnik]

In the UI you can set the operating system in the ad group settings (screenshot attached).

I am not seeing an operating system criterion in the AdGroupCriterion. How can this be duplicated via the API?

The screenshot from the UI is for a campaign with 'Display' ads.

Hi Lonny,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

Upon checking this guide, it is indeed not possible to target / exclude operating systems using the OperatingSystemVersionInfo at the ad group level. So that I may raise a feature request, could you share a more complete screenshot indicating that these settings are indeed available for an ad group?

If the screenshot would contain user / account information, you may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Hi, thanks for the quick follow-up.

I just sent a PM with an example, but as noted I think I just got confused in the UI and I was really looking at campaign settings and not ad group settings.

However, the OS constant campaign criterion for the campaign I PMed you is operatingSystemVersionConstants/630159, which does not appear in the Mobile Platforms list. Where can I find a list of valid constants for the campaign_criterion.operating_system_version?

Thank you,

Lonny

Hi Lonny,

Thank you for sharing with our team the screenshots. To confirm the UI appears to be referring to a campaign's settings and targeting OperatingSystemVersionInfo should already be supported at the campaign level, via the Google Ads API.

Moving forward, the API supported criterion IDs should be listed here, in the link that you also just provided. So our team can take a closer look, could you confirm where you were able to acquire the 630159 constant?

If this was returned through an API request, could you provide our team with the complete request and response logs, with the request-id? You may then once more provide the logs to our team privately.
