The Demographic details report is a pre-made detail report that provides key characteristics about the people who use a website or app, including a user's language, interests, location, age, and gender.
Only aggregated data from users who consent to sharing demographics data are included in the report. Additionally, data thresholds may be applied when user counts are low to protect the end user's privacy.

About the demographics data
Demographics data for websites
Demographics data for apps
Demographics and interest data come from the Android Advertising ID or iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).
Android Advertising ID
Analytics generates an identifier based on the ID that includes demographics and interest data derived from users’ app activity.
iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA)
Analytics generates an identifier based on the IDFA that includes demographics and interest data derived from users’ app activity.
Missing a device identifier
When the Device Advertising ID is not present, Analytics cannot derive the demographics and interest data. Therefore, demographics and interest data may only be available for a subset of users and may not represent the overall composition of your traffic.
Why don't I see some demographics data?
If you have activated Google signals, or if device identifiers are present, and you still don't see demographics and interest data, Google Analytics may have applied data thresholds.
About data thresholds
Data thresholds are designed to protect users' privacy by preventing someone in a Google Analytics property from inferring the identity of an end user based on their demographics and interest data. This helps to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and maintain user trust. Learn more
