In the Firebase Analytics console for my app, number of users for screen_view event and first_open event are different. Users who have fired screen_view event are around 5% more than the users who have fired first_open . Shouldn't this number be same? Or is there something I'm overlooking here?

Yep, that's expected. Here's the first_open description:

Triggered the first time a user launches an app after installing or reinstalling it.

This event is not triggered when a user downloads the app onto a device, but instead when he or she first uses it. To see raw download numbers, look in Google Play Developer Console or in iTunesConnect.

The screen_view event is triggered every time a user views a screen. So 5% means you're just getting started, good luck!

    I'm not counting the number of times this event is fired, I'm concerned with the unique users who have fired these events. Shouldn't that be same? – Pranshu Dec 31 '17 at 11:54
  • Ohhh... are you looking at a time range? Old users who've had your app for a while won't be included in the last 30 days of `first_open` for example. You'd have to use all time metrics. – SUPERCILEX Dec 31 '17 at 17:48
  • We're setting the time range from before including Firebase in the project to now. – Pranshu Jan 02 '18 at 05:17
  • Huh, then I'm not sure. – SUPERCILEX Jan 02 '18 at 06:17
