A session is a period of time when a user interacts with an app. Session time is a primary measure of user engagement as it records the length and frequency of end-user.
The definition of a session differs depending on whether you are referencing our iOS or Android estimates.
Android: A session for Android is captured when an app is in the foreground. If the user goes from an app to a different app, say to send a text, the session is stopped because the app is no longer in the foreground.
iOS: A session for iOS is captured as active when the app is in the foreground and when moved to the background. A session will timeout and stop at around 5 minutes.
