The problem

Mobile measurement is broken on both platforms.

iOS gutted your identifiers. Android’s future is uncertain. Every ad network claims credit for the same conversions. Your attribution data lives in silos, and the privacy landscape is making it worse — not better. The result: wasted budget, inflated metrics, and no defensible answer when leadership asks what’s working.

iOS: signal loss is the new default

Apple’s ATT cut IDFA availability from 80% to under 30%. SKAN gives you coarse conversion values, bucketed revenue ranges, and delayed postbacks. Half your iOS audience is invisible to legacy attribution.

Android: stability today, uncertainty tomorrow

Google deprecated Privacy Sandbox in October 2025 — but GAID’s long-term future remains unconfirmed. The measurement methods you rely on today could be the next identifiers to disappear. Building on shifting ground is not a strategy.

Cross-platform: no single source of truth

Different attribution rules on iOS and Android. Each ad network using its own model. Probabilistic on one platform, deterministic on the other. Your “unified” view is a spreadsheet with five conflicting numbers.

The difference

Legacy measurement vs. Branch MMP

Without Branch
Multiple dashboards, conflicting numbers. Each ad network reports its own metrics. Your spreadsheet “reconciliation” is a monthly headache.
Device-level only. When a user clicks an ad on their phone and converts on their tablet, you either double-count or miss it entirely.
Platform-dependent measurement. Different attribution methods on iOS vs. Android means your cross-platform view is stitched together, not unified.
Fraud exposure. Without server-side validation and fraud detection, you’re paying for bot installs, click floods, and SDK spoofing — especially on Android.
Unpredictable costs. Event-based pricing means a successful campaign can blow your measurement budget overnight.
With Branch MMP
Single source of truth. One dashboard. One dataset. Every channel, network, and campaign measured with the same methodology — iOS and Android unified.
People-based attribution. Cross-device identity resolution means you see real humans, not fragmented device IDs. One user, one journey, one truth.
Privacy-first on every platform. Full SKAN support on iOS. GAID-based and privacy-preserving methods on Android. Branch adapts as platforms evolve — so you don’t have to rebuild.
Fraud protection built in. Server-side validation, anomaly detection, and real-time fraud blocking protect every dollar of your ad spend on both platforms.
Predictable pricing. Scale your campaigns without worrying about your measurement bill.
Platform challenges

How Branch solves measurement on every platform.

iOS and Android present fundamentally different measurement challenges. Branch handles both — with purpose-built solutions for each platform’s privacy model.

◆ Branch Privacy-Aware Measurement (PAM)

iOS measurement: before and after

Apple’s SKAdNetwork framework gives you aggregated, delayed, coarse-grained data. Branch PAM transforms that limited signal into actionable campaign intelligence — without relying on IDFA.

Without PAM
Fragmented SKAN data with coarse conversion values. Apple’s framework limits you to a handful of conversion value bits — not enough to understand what users actually do post-install.
Revenue bucketed into vague ranges — no exact amounts. SKAN reports revenue in predefined brackets, not precise figures. You can’t calculate true ROAS per campaign when your revenue data is approximated.
Post-install events overwritten or lost after event 1. SKAN’s conversion value model overwrites previous values. Context from early user actions disappears as new events arrive.
Can’t connect ad spend to downstream LTV or ROAS. Without granular post-install data, there’s no line from media cost to customer lifetime value. Budget allocation becomes guesswork.
Zero data if unknown conversion threshold is not met. If your campaign doesn’t hit Apple’s privacy threshold, you get no postback at all — a complete data blackout on low-volume campaigns.
With Branch PAM
Full-funnel visibility from install through post-purchase. Branch reconstructs the complete user journey using probabilistic modeling and aggregated signals — going far beyond SKAN’s limited conversion values.
Exact revenue, SKU-level detail, and true ROAS per campaign. Branch’s privacy-preserving models recover the granularity SKAN strips away — real revenue numbers, not approximated brackets.
Real-time signals across the entire 30-day attribution window. No more waiting for delayed SKAN postbacks. Branch delivers actionable data in real time so you can optimize campaigns while they’re still running.
Privacy-preserving probabilistic attribution — no IDFA needed. Branch PAM is built for the post-ATT world. It doesn’t rely on opt-in identifiers, so your measurement covers 100% of your iOS audience.
Conversion metrics reported from just 2 conversions. Branch starts reporting as soon as minimal data is available — no arbitrary privacy thresholds blocking your campaign insights.

Android: the ground is shifting

Google deprecated Privacy Sandbox on Android in October 2025 after low adoption and ecosystem pushback — but GAID’s long-term future remains unconfirmed. Android measurement works today, but the next disruption could arrive without warning.

2021
Google announces Privacy Sandbox for Android
A multi-year initiative to replace GAID and third-party identifiers with privacy-preserving alternatives — Attribution Reporting API, Topics, Protected Audiences, and SDK Runtime.
2023–2025
Industry testing reveals critical shortfalls
Publisher revenue declined 30% in Privacy Sandbox tests. Technical latency increased 200%. Ad tech partners paused testing. The ecosystem rejected the replacement APIs as unworkable.
October 2025
Google deprecates Privacy Sandbox
Google retires all Privacy Sandbox APIs. The CMA releases Google from its commitments. GAID remains functional — but with no stated long-term guarantee.
Now
GAID works, but the future is undefined
Google has made no public commitment on GAID’s longevity. Regulatory pressure in the EU and evolving privacy norms mean Android’s measurement landscape could change rapidly.
What’s next?
The next disruption will come without a three-year warning
When Google eventually moves, the timeline will likely be compressed. Teams that built privacy-first measurement infrastructure for iOS are already prepared. Teams that didn’t will scramble — again.

GAID is not guaranteed

Google committed to supporting GAID “for at least two years” — a statement now over two years old. No updated commitment has been made. Building your entire measurement strategy on an identifier with no guaranteed future is a risk.

Fraud is worse on Android

12% of Android app installs are fraudulent — nearly double the iOS rate. GAID-based measurement without server-side fraud prevention means you’re still paying for click injection, device farms, and SDK spoofing.

Regulatory pressure is mounting

The EU’s Digital Markets Act and evolving privacy regulations worldwide are pushing all platforms toward identifier restrictions. The privacy wave that hit iOS is not an Apple-only phenomenon — it’s an industry direction.

How Branch prepares you for Android’s future

Branch’s MMP uses a multi-signal attribution approach that works with GAID today and is built to transition seamlessly when Android’s privacy model changes. The same privacy-preserving probabilistic methods powering Branch PAM on iOS are ready to deploy on Android when the time comes — so you won’t need to rebuild your measurement infrastructure a second time.

The solution

How Branch MMP works

Branch replaces fragmented, platform-biased attribution with a unified, independent measurement layer that adapts to the privacy requirements of every platform.

1

Collect

A single lightweight SDK captures touchpoints across every channel — paid, owned, and organic — using platform-appropriate methods on both iOS and Android.

2

Resolve

People-based identity resolution matches users across devices, platforms, and sessions — bridging the gap between iOS’s restricted signals and Android’s deterministic data.

3

Attribute

Independent, unbiased attribution assigns credit to the marketing touchpoints that actually drove conversion — using deterministic, probabilistic, or modeled methods depending on signal availability.

4

Activate

Real-time data feeds push attribution data to 2,000+ integrated partners — your BI tools, ad networks, and analytics platforms stay in sync across both platforms.


What this means for your team

Cross-platform measurement

Unified iOS and Android data in a single dashboard — plus mobile web, desktop, and CTV. No more reconciling metrics across platforms manually.

Privacy-Aware Measurement (PAM)

Purpose-built for iOS. Full-funnel visibility, exact revenue data, and real-time signals — all without IDFA. Recovers the granularity SKAN strips away.

Future-proof Android measurement

GAID-based attribution today. Privacy-preserving probabilistic methods ready to deploy when Android’s privacy model evolves. One SDK, zero rebuilds.

Fraud prevention

Server-side fraud detection blocks click injection, SDK spoofing, device farms, and install fraud — with stronger protection on Android where fraud rates are highest.

2,000+ integrations

Native data connectors to every major ad network, analytics tool, CRM, and marketing automation platform. Your attribution data flows where it needs to go.

Predictable pricing

Scale your campaigns without worrying about your measurement bill. Your measurement costs stay stable as you grow — no surprise charges when a campaign takes off.

Use cases

Accurate measurement across every channel

Wherever your marketing runs — and on whichever platform your users are — Branch MMP gives you the unbiased truth about what’s driving results.

01

Paid social & display

Independent attribution for Meta, TikTok, Snap, and programmatic display — with privacy-preserving measurement on iOS and deterministic validation on Android. True CPA without each network grading its own homework.

→ True cross-network ROAS
02

Paid search

Measure Google Ads, Apple Search Ads, and Bing campaigns with unbiased attribution. Branch PAM recovers iOS keyword-level insight that SKAN alone can’t provide, while Android retains full granularity.

→ Keyword-level ROI clarity
03

Email & SMS

Attribute app installs and in-app conversions back to lifecycle campaigns. When a user opens an email on desktop and installs on mobile, Branch connects the dots — regardless of platform.

→ Lifecycle attribution, cross-device
04

CTV & streaming

Measure the mobile impact of connected TV campaigns. Branch bridges a Roku or Fire TV impression to a subsequent app install — whether the viewer picks up an iPhone or an Android device.

→ CTV-to-mobile attribution
05

Organic & referral

Not everything is paid. Branch measures organic installs, word-of-mouth referrals, and owned-channel conversions across both app stores — so you can quantify the full picture.

→ Full-funnel visibility
06

Re-engagement campaigns

Measure push notifications, retargeting ads, and win-back campaigns. Know which re-engagement touchpoints drive incremental revenue versus cannibalized organic — on both iOS and Android.

→ Incremental lift measurement

iOS broke your attribution model. Android could be next. The only measurement strategy that survives is one that doesn’t depend on any single platform’s identifiers.
