# Automatic Detections Automatic detection mode is the default mode the SDK runs in. In this mode, the SDK automatically determines when a user is in a trip and when he or she is stationary. Detections start when you `enable` them and all detection requirements are met (on [iOS](/important-topics/sdk/api-reference/ios/sentsdkstatus.md#candetect) and [Android](/important-topics/sdk/api-reference/android/sdkstatus.md#candetect)). To stop detections, call the platform specific disableDetections method. This will put the SDK in a stopped state where only regular SDK maintenance tasks will run. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sentiance.com/important-topics/sdk/appendix/controlled-detections/automatic-detections.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
