Starting from July 2023, Google will be discontinuing the use of Universal Analytics and introducing Google Analytics 4 (GA4) as their new measurement solution. While data will still be collected by Universal Analytics until its sunset in July 2023, Google Analytics 4 will replace it as the next-generation measurement solution. Furthermore, data will remain accessible for a minimum of 6 months following the sunset of Universal Analytics.
