Is there a way to use the signal report to see what events impact long term (i.e. 3 month) app retention?

Yes. Signal has built‑in “default retention events” you can use as the goal event, including 2nd month retention, which is effectively a long‑term retention metric. [Signal docs]From the docs, the default goal events you can pick in Signal are: - 2nd week retention - 3rd week retention - 4th week retention - 2nd month retention (users return to do anything within two months) [Signal docs]However, the knowledge sources do not mention a built‑in 3rd‑month (90‑day) retention goal for Signal, nor how to configure a fully custom “3‑month retention” goal event inside Signal. Because of that, I can only say confidently that: - You can use Signal to see which events correlate with 2‑month retention via the “2nd month retention” default goal. - The docs provided do not explicitly describe a way to set a custom “3‑month retention” goal in Signal.If you specifically need 3‑month retention, you may need to: - Use Signal with the closest built‑in option (2nd month retention) to find high‑impact behaviors, and - Use the Retention report itself to measure exact 3‑month retention over time.
