How to tell iPad Visitors in Google Analytics

March 25th, 2010 — 4:03pm

When the iPhone first launched I wrote probably the first post about discovering iPhone visitors in Google Analytics. Now with the launch of the iPad, I wanted to show you how to find iPad visitors quickly and easily in Google Analytics and in Analytics App on your iPhone (and soon your iPad!).

If you log in to Google Analytics from your website, pick your Account and Profile and then go to Visitors > Mobile > Mobile Devices. If you have had any visitors from an iPad you will see it there in the list, like this:

ipad-analytics

If you are on your iPhone, and of course you use Analytics App, go to Visitor Reports > Operating Systems and it will be listed there, like this:

ipad-analytics-iphone

If you just are wondering what the User Agent looks like for grabbing it directly as an environment variable, right now it shows up as:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B360 Safari/531.21.10

So the question is then… do you have iPad visitors yet? Go check and see!
