How to enable user location sending
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 this 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 this information in reports, but not via 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.

option, see Sending location on Android and on iOS.
