What is the difference between ‘active users’ and ‘total users’ in GA4?

Accepted Answer

Active users in GA4 are users who had an engaged session or triggered a key event, while total users count all users including non-engaged visits. This means that active users focus on user engagement, while total users include all users regardless of their level of interaction.
