Description

### Description

Since adding AMP to our publisher site for news and articles, we have seen 30-40% drop in traffic across social and organic.
We still have the standard pages however the AMP pages are indexing. We can see in GSC that the clicks have increased for organic, however this isn't reflected in Google Analytics.

Facebook has also seen a 40% drop in traffic in Google analytics.

Are some devices/browser dropping the amp analytics headers?

Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated. We can see these pages have improved the rankings, however this is not reflected at all in Google Analytics.
