Summary
Facebook has introduced cross-device reporting for its ads, allowing advertisers to track how users interact with ads across multiple devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers, before making a purchase. This new feature addresses the common scenario where users see an ad on one device (e.g., mobile) but convert on another (e.g., desktop). The report uses data from the Facebook Conversion Pixel and SDK, providing insights into the role of mobile ads in driving conversions.
Early testers, like One Kings Lane and TellApart, have found it valuable for understanding cross-device behavior and justifying mobile ad investments. Advertisers can access the report via Facebook Ad Reports by selecting Cross-Device columns.

AppsFlyerOmnichannel Analytics Explained
Omnichannel analytics unifies customer behavior and campaign performance across mobile, web, CTV, and AI search into one identity, one attribution model, and one ROAS number. The core problem: a single customer seen on three surfaces becomes three users, inflating performance and corrupting attribution, LTV, and retention. Stitching channel reports into one dashboard is not unification—each channel keeps its own attribution logic, so conversions get double-counted and upper-funnel spend looks unproductive. For ad ops leaders, the takeaway is that identity resolution (deterministic plus probabilistic, privacy-safe) must happen at the data layer before any dashboard exists. Platform choice hinges on surface coverage, identity resolution, compliance, incrementality testing, and migration support.

AppsFlyerWeb Gaming: The untapped path to lower CPI and boost ROAS

AppsFlyerCracking the 2026 Holiday Season: A Data-Backed Playbook for Marketing Leaders
Q4 2026 planning should treat peak shopping as a compressed event, not a week. Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchase lift runs 2–3x install lift, so ad ops must schedule by daypart and hour. Singles Day is not global: Brazil, UAE and Spain show real lift, while US/France barely react. CPI spikes hardest in supposedly cheap markets—Spain’s CPI rose nearly 50%. Remarketing already drives 65–92% of non-organic spend and rises during peak. Deep linking is critical: deep-linked users are ~2x more likely to purchase and spend nearly 3x more. Benchmark market CPI, shift budget to remarketing, and connect every entry point.
