A potential new issue has emerged concerning Google Search Console’s performance report, specifically involving the Android App search appearance filter. Some users are reporting that Google has ceased displaying impressions, clicks, and related data for this filter.
A user shared a chart illustrating this problem in the forums, showing a significant drop in analytics data associated with the Android App appearance filter. The chart indicates a sharp decline starting around August 12th, culminating in zero recorded clicks by August 18th.
The user, a digital strategist, explained that the decline affects one of their client’s websites. They’ve verified that the app is functioning correctly in the Google Play Console, and visit data is accurately tracked in Google Analytics, suggesting the problem isn’t with the app itself.
Similarly, performance data for their Android app points to the same issue, hinting at a possible bug on Google’s side. Up to now, Google has not acknowledged or responded to these reports.
It’s worth noting that Google reintroduced the Android App appearance filter in 2019, and it has generally been reliable before this anomaly. The discussion about this issue continues in the support forums dedicated to webmaster concerns.
