To filter events by platform, you can use the "Operating System" property that Mixpanel automatically collects. The JavaScript, iOS, and Android libraries store this property by default, making it easy to differentiate between actions taken on different platforms.As noted in Mixpanel's documentation: > If you send events from all platforms to one project, you can still differentiate actions taken on your app vs. website via segmentation and filtering using the Operating System property (the Mixpanel JavaScript, iOS, and Android libraries store the Operating System property by default).Developer Environments

For programmatic access, you can use Mixpanel's Query API to get a list of the most common events: LBKSGET /events/namesLBKSThis endpoint returns a list of the most common events over the last 31 days, which you can then filter by platform in your application.Query API - Event Breakdown

If you regularly need to analyze platform-specific data, you might want to consider creating Data Views. Data Views allow you to create a mini Mixpanel project within your main project that only displays the events and properties you specify: > You can create a Data View (a mini Mixpanel project within a Mixpanel project) that will only display events and properties you'd like that specific Data View to contain.This would allow you to create platform-specific views (e.g., iOS app view, Android app view, Web view) to easily access the data that pertains to each platform without having to filter every time.Data Views: Data Classification in MixpanelBy using these methods, you can effectively gather and filter your events by platform in Mixpanel.
