Introduction
The Device ID Check filter is designed to reject clicks that contain an invalid Device ID format. A valid Device ID consists of exactly 36 characters, structured as follows: 8-4-4-4-8.
The Device ID is a unique identifier assigned to a specific Android or iOS device.
Examples of valid Device IDs:
