Librem phone is counted as an iOS device

[programmin1]

Expected Behavior

Logged visits should be the right OS.

Current Behavior

Visit any site with Matomo installed on the Librem 5 phone. Look in the "visits in real time" in the left of Matomo Analytics and it registers that as "iOS"?? Browser: Chrome webview 64 even though this is the default browser that comes on Librem5. It should show it is a Linux phone not "iOS".

Possible Solution

Check for Librem/pinephone or other Linux phones as these are going to be growing in use lately.

Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs)

Visit any site with Matomo installed on a Librem 5 phone. Look in the "visits in real time" in the left of Matomo Analytics and see that the pages you just visited register as iOS visits.

Context

There is no way to know just how many Librem phone users are using the site, counting as iOS would send developer effort in the wrong direction testing sites.

Your Environment

• Matomo Version:4.7.1
• PHP Version: 7.4.28
• Server Operating System:Ubuntu
• Additionally installed plugins: N/A
• Browser: GNOME WEB 3.38.2 default browser
• Operating System: Librem PureOS

Hi,

Can you share the user agent the phone sends to websites? e.g. by opening https://devicedetector.lw1.at on it.

I'll move this on to the device detector repo. If anything can be improved in the detection it needs to be done there.

Did a quick search and seems Librem uses useragents like

Mozilla/5.0 (Librem 5, like iPhone; X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.0 Safari/605.1.15 Epiphany/605.1.15

[Findus23]

And indeed that user agent is detected incorrectly. I assume the like iPhone and Safari/605.1.15 trips it up. Is there a way to change the rules so that Librem 5 has a higher priority?

The same happens with Nintendo 3DS

I'll make a PR.

[programmin1]

I still see Librem phone counted as "iOS". Being a phone and not their Intel desktop, its user agent includes "Linux aarch64" not "Linux x86_64".

It looks like the match in the PR includes the full UA string and would break every update of the system?

[sanchezzzhak]

https://devicedetector.lw1.at/ Create online test and send it to us.

[sgiehl]

@programmin1 it will take a while until your Matomo detects that correctly. When something is changed here it needs to be included in a release of device detector. Once that was done the device detector needs to be updated in Matomo, which is done with every new release of Matomo. So it might be included in Matomo 4.8.

[programmin1]

Mozilla/5.0 (Librem 5, like iPhone; Linux aarch64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.0 Chrome/64 Mobile/15E148 Safari/605.1.15

is the full useragent of Librem phone with updates.

The device is detected correctly. As @sgiehl said, it might take some time until 5.0.5 version of device detector (which includes this particular device) reaches the next release of Matomo. I'm not familiar with Matomo, but I suppose you can update manually very easy device detector. You can also automate a nightly build, by downloading from Github.

[sgiehl]

It's not easily possible to update device detector within Matomo. Version 5.0.5 was not included in Matomo 4.8.0 but it will be in Matomo 4.9.0 which should be released in a couple of weeks

@sgiehl can you close this issue since is fixed?
