By default, Amplitude tracks the below user properties automatically via our client-side SDKs. All the below properties will be prefixed with "[Amplitude]" in the platform. Amplitude uses the collected IP address to reverse lookup a user's location user properties (City, Country, Region, and DMA) using MaxMind's database. MaxMind is widely accepted as the most reliable digital mapping source. You can configure our SDKs to disable automatic tracking of these user properties.
If you’re sending data server-side instead of using an SDK, these user properties cannot be automatically tracked and you must set these properties explicitly.
In Amplitude charts, if you choose to segment by Device ID, Event ID, Latitude, Longitude, Server Upload Time, Session ID, User ID, or ID, you will need to input the exact values that you are looking for due to high cardinality of possible values. You will not be able to group by the user properties Event ID, Latitude, Longitude, Server Upload Time, or ID as well.
