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.

Location is determined down to the city level. 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 IP address masking enabled, AppMetrica determines the location with country-level accuracy using the unmasked part of the IP address.
