Simple question (I think)...is the screen call automatic on mobile with each screen change? Or does it have to be called manually? This section says:

Segment automatically calls a Page event whenever a web page loads. This might be enough for most of your needs, but if you change the URL path without reloading the page, for example in single page web apps, you must call Page manually

...but the subsequent section on screen does not mention one way or another.

The ‘screen’ call is not automatically called and must be manually sent.

 

The reason that the ‘page’ event is automatically called is because it is embedded in the analytics.js <script> tag provided by Segment.

Also, when you view Screen Events in Unify - it shows as a track; very different behavior vs Page calls.
