#### I'm using Prebid with a Mobile SDK&#8212;what atype value should I use?

According to the IAB documentation, the `atype` (agent type) value indicates the type of user agent that the match is from. IAB recommends defining this property.

If you're using Prebid with the [SDK for Android](../sdks/sdk-ref-android.md) or the [SDK for iOS](../sdks/sdk-ref-ios.md), use an `atype` value of `3`, indicating a person-based ID.

For details, refer to these sections in the IAB documentation:
