# 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 info "" %}

    For iOS, the option is enabled by default.

    {% endnote %}

    Location is determined down to the city level. You can retrieve the information in [reports](../mobile-reports/index.md) and via the [Logs API](../mobile-api/logs/about.md).

    The app requests GPS access. Battery consumption may increase.

**With the locationTracking option disabled**

:   {% note info "" %}

    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.

    {% endnote %}

    The location is determined by the IP address with accuracy to the country. You can retrieve the information in [reports](../mobile-reports/index.md) but not the [Logs API](../mobile-api/logs/about.md).

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

    {% note info "" %}

    If you have IP address masking enabled, AppMetrica determines the location with country-level accuracy using the unmasked part of the IP address.

    {% endnote %}
