Overview
In mobile analytics, accurately measuring user sessions is crucial for understanding user engagement and optimizing app performance. Apptrove provides tools to configure session timers, allowing you to define session durations and idle timeouts that align with your app's user behavior.

A session begins when a user opens your app and ends when they either close the app or remain inactive for a specified period. By configuring session timers, you can:
Define Session Duration: Set the maximum time a session can last.

These configurations help in accurately tracking user engagement and session frequency.
