Get individual user details in firebase

Question

I'm new to firebase and I recently integrated it to my project. I've logged few events using Analytics.logEvent("event_name", parameters: nil)

This seems to work and I can see data populating in my firebase account. Now I'm trying to get the few details based on individual user these are, exact location(right now it shows only country), session length and last screen of the session. Is it possible to retrieve these details in the free features of the firebase? If so, how do I proceed about it?

This is against the Google's Privacy policy .

yes you can use screen tracking in (baseviewcontroller)viewdidappear. exapmle:

    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated);
    // Google Analytics
    let className = String(describing: type(of: self))
    let tracker = GAI.sharedInstance().defaultTracker
    tracker!.set(kGAIScreenName, value: className)
    let build = (GAIDictionaryBuilder.createScreenView().build() as NSDictionary) as! [AnyHashable: Any]
    tracker?.send(build)

}

agree with policy, however, it is definitely supported by the API, just like it also was in Google Analytics SDK before.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/ios/firebaseanalytics/api/reference/Classes/FIRAnalytics#setuserid

However, I have not used it and I am not sure that Firebase Console allows the same level of drilling down to a single session of a single user as Google Analytics did ... but in Google Analytics is is definitely a very useful feature to drill down to individual user level!
