Previous deployments of the Amplitude Segment destination required the device-mode connection to use the `session_id` tracking feature. However, the Amplitude (Actions) destination now includes session ID tracking by default when you use Segment's ([Analytics.js 2.0](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/javascript/) library. +### Track sessions -Most previous deployments of the Amplitude Segment destination used the device-mode connection to use the `session_id` tracking feature. The new Actions-framework Amplitude destination includes session ID tracking by default. When connected to the Analytics.js 2.0 source, Segment automatically loads a plugin on your website for session tracking and enrichment as an alternative to the Amplitude SDK. This means you don't need to bundle any software to run on the user's device, or write any code. It also means that you can use more of the Segment platform features on data going to Amplitude, such as Protocols filtering and transformations, and Profiles Identity Resolution. +Session tracking is available with Segment's new libraries: [Analytics.js 2.0](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/javascript/), [Swift](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/mobile/apple/) or [Kotlin](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/mobile/kotlin-android/). -Session tracking is available with Segment's new libraries: [Analytics.js 2.0](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/javascript/), [Swift](https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-swift){:target="_blank”} or [Kotlin](https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-kotlin){:target="_blank”}. +When connected to the Analytics.js 2.0 source, Segment automatically loads a plugin on your website for session tracking and enrichment as an alternative to the Amplitude SDK.

If a User ID isn't present, Amplitude uses a Device ID, and vice versa, if a Device ID isn't present, Amplitude uses the User ID.
