Hello there,

Are you asking how to target devices for your campaigns? If so, you may use Mobile Device Criterion to target specific type of devices for your campaigns via CampaignCriterionService.

In addition, you may refer to this table for other supported Targeting types in the AdWords API.

Let me know if I misunderstood your question.

Thanks and regards,
Peter
AdWords API Team

Hi, 

Yes, we've tried targeting devices through CampaignCriterionService, but the document was not enough to tell us how to set specific options for mobile where you could select to show ads in all mobile app, mobile app interstitial, and mobile web. 
Also we would like to know how to set device model for campaign. 

In addtion, how can we target iPhone 6S Plus (app only) and other different options for Device model? We see many device options in adwords, but I can't find any detail options in API doc. 
Are these detail options supported through adwords API? If yes, please help us through the process.

Thank you.

Hi,

Regarding the targeting options you mentioned, I believe it is currently not possible. The network where your ads will show will depend on the AdvertisingChannelType and AdvertisingChannelSubType you specified when you created your campaign. Our mobile app campaigns guide provides more information on how to setup and optimize your campaigns to get more app downloads or engagements.

As for the targeting specific device models, it is also currently not supported. Instead, you can target some of these high end devices using their operating system as seen in this guide.
