On 4 November 2026, Google Search Console’s Performance report gained a useful update: you can now filter by more than one device type at the same time. Until now you could only look at one device category at once. The options are Desktop, Mobile and Tablet. According to Search Engine Roundtable, the change follows a similar multi-select option for countries added about a month earlier.
Why this matters for Pakistani audiences
Many visitors in Pakistan browse on mobile phones. Knowing how your pages perform on phones compared with computers can show you where to improve first.
How to use the new filter
- Open Search Console and go to Performance then Search results.
- Add a Device filter and select two device types together, for example Mobile and Tablet.
- Use the compare option to look at that group against Desktop over the same dates.
- Look at clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position for each group.
What to look for
If your mobile click-through rate is much lower than desktop, check your page titles and descriptions, since they may be getting cut off on small screens. If mobile positions are weaker, test your pages for speed and easy reading on a phone, with clear text, tappable buttons and no pop-ups that cover the content.
Small, regular checks like this help you make decisions based on real data instead of guesses. Check your device report once a month and note what changes after you improve a page.
