A newbie question about 'session_start' event of Firebase

[moonk...@estsoft.com]

Hi, this is Kim and I have a newbie question.

I just looked around the statics of my app, however found out something interesting.

There was a difference between the number of 'new' users of 'session_start' event and the number of user of 'first_open' event.

Specifically, the former one was 17500, and latter one was 6000, so it was quite big difference in the case of our app.

So, I really wonder what 'session_start' means.

I already read the explanation of Firebase FAQ, however, I think it does not explain all cases of 'session_start'.

It can be guessed that 'session_start means not just the number of user residence time exceeding the fixed session time, but also some user actions on the app, even being not in-app action.

So, please let me know the measure standard of 'session_start' event.

Thanks.

Take a look at https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6317485?hl=en

Roughly - session_start happens whenever a user starts using your app after a period of not using it. first_open happens on the first time the user opens the app. So for example if you have a user install your app and open it, they will trigger a first_open and a session_start. If they leave the app and come back later the same day, you'll get an additional session_start.
