User engagement means the active interaction of a user with an app. For this, you have to make sure you provide your users with a reason to keep coming back to your app. Increasing user engagement is one of the key goals in mobile marketing that you can achieve through measures such as content personalization, email marketing, and other marketing campaigns.
