FAQ
Fake GPS for iPhone: your questions.
Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone?
No. FakeGPS uses the location simulation that iOS includes for developers. Your iPhone stays exactly as it is.
Is FakeGPS for iOS free?
Yes. Free download, no account and no subscription.
Can apps tell that my location is fake?
Some can. iOS lets apps know when a location is simulated, and some services suspend accounts for it. Use it at your own risk and follow the rules of each app.
Does it work over Wi-Fi?
Yes. Connect once with a cable, turn on “Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi” in Finder, and it keeps working without the cable, even with the screen locked.
How do I get my real location back?
Click “Back to real GPS” or quit FakeGPS. Your iPhone returns to its real location right away; if an app still shows the old spot, reopen that app.
Which apps see the new location?
Any app that reads the iPhone's location, such as maps, games, social and dating apps. Find My is the exception: it keeps showing the real location.
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple silicon on macOS 26 or later, and an iPhone on iOS 17 or later with Developer Mode turned on. Xcode is recommended, not required.
Is it safe to install?
FakeGPS is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without warnings. It asks for no account and doesn't track you.
