# Location

During installation, the Yandex Start app requests permission to access your location data. You can either allow or deny permission.

Information about your location is used for the following purposes:

- Sites can show you information relevant for your area, such as weather, traffic, or a map.
- The address bar can display accurate search suggestions (for example, about the weather).
- Settings can show a list of search engines that are used in your area.

By default, your area is determined based on the location of your device.


## Specify the area manually {#choose-region}

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
   Go to ![](../_assets/profile-icon.svg) **(profile picture)** → **App settings**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
1. Under **General**, tap **Location**.
1. Disable the **Auto detect** option.
1. Tap **Select manually**.
1. Enter the name of your city.


## My location is determined incorrectly {#problems}

{% cut "**Update the app**" %}

You can update the app in the app store. If you're using an outdated version, the **Update** button will appear on the app page in the store.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**Check the app settings**" %}


1. <!-- source: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
   Go to ![](../_assets/profile-icon.svg) **(profile picture)** → **App settings**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/reusables/phrases/li-settings.md -->
1. Under **General**, tap **Location**.
1. If the **Set manually** option is enabled but your city is incorrect, enable the **Set automatically** option.


{% endcut %}

{% cut "**Check the device settings**" %}

Make sure the app is allowed to access your location.

{% endcut %}


If this didn't solve the problem, contact support. Send a screenshot with the incorrect location and specify where you actually are.
