Sometimes only device information can be obtained, sometimes geographic location can be obtained

Due to security settings, some phones send back fuzzy location information by default when requested by untrusted apps or websites.

This can also be caused by weak GPS signal or that the location service (GPS) is turned off. When the location service is turned off, the mobile device uses 4/5G and the location of its IP address to get an approximate location of itself, which is very inaccurate.

Seeker only collects the coordinates sent by the request from the device. It is mainly the device which decides what info to send.
