Determining the location

AppMetrica can determine the location of a device. Location accuracy depends on the configuration that the library uses for initialization:

With the locationTracking option enabled

Note

For iOS, the option is enabled by default.

The location is determined with accuracy to the city. You can retrieve the information in reports and via the Logs API.

The app requests GPS access. Battery consumption may increase.

With the locationTracking option disabled

Note

Starting with the Android AppMetrica SDK 5.0.0, the locationTracking option is disabled by default.

If the version is lower than 5.0.0, the locationTracking option is enabled by default.

The location is determined by the IP address with accuracy to the country. You can retrieve the information in reports but not the Logs API.

The app requests GPS access. Battery consumption does not increase.

Note

If you have enabled IP address masking, AppMetrica determines location with the accuracy to the country by the unmasked part of the IP address.

For more information about enabling and disabling the locationTracking option, see Sending location on Android and on iOS.
