Meet Automatically Collected Events
Automatically Collected Events are automatically collected by the system without additional settings, as long as you have the Google Analytics for Firebase SDK or gtag.js installed, and basic user interactions with your app/website.
Automatically Collected Events do not count towards the 500 event limit.
