The Tech overview report is a pre-made overview report that provides an overview of the technologies people are using to access your website or app, such as their browser, device model, and screen resolution. The data in this report is updated automatically from the web pages and app screens with the Google Analytics measurement code installed.
The Tech overview report appears on the left only in the Life cycle collection. You won't see the report in the Business objectives collection by default; however, an editor or administrator can add the report to your left navigation.

Pre-made summary cards
The Tech overview report includes the following summary cards by default. Administrators and editors can change the cards so you may see different ones from these.
Users by Platform
Users by Platform shows the top most used platforms and the number of active users who used each platform. A platform is a method by which someone accesses your website or app, such as 'Android,' 'iOS,' and 'Web.'
Users in last 30 minutes
Users in last 30 minutes shows activity as it happens using data from the Realtime report. The first half of the card shows the total number of users in the last 30 minutes and the number of users in the last 30 minutes per minute.
The second half of the card includes realtime activity for a relevant dimension. For example, the Engagement overview report may show the top pages and screens users are visiting right now, while the User attributes overview report may show the top countries users are visiting from right now.
