# FakeGPS for iOS

> Free macOS app that changes (fakes/simulates) the GPS location of a connected iPhone in one click: teleport anywhere, or walk, bike and drive real routes at a real pace. No jailbreak, no account, no subscription. Version 1.4.0, signed and notarized by Apple.

FakeGPS for iOS ("Fake GPS for iPhone") runs on a Mac and uses the location simulation iOS provides for developers, so every location-aware app on the iPhone (maps, games, social and dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble) sees the new location, except Find My. It works over USB or Wi-Fi, keeps working with the iPhone's screen locked, and returns the iPhone to its real GPS with one click or when the app quits. Apps can detect simulated locations; users should follow each app's terms. Developer: Ingenieria.dev (christian@irack.mx).

## FAQ
- Is FakeGPS for iOS really free? Yes. $0: no subscription, no license key, no in-app purchases and no account. In return, each time it opens it shows the developer's website in your browser.
- How is it different from iAnyGo or AnyTo? Those are paid apps sold as subscriptions or lifetime licenses. FakeGPS for iOS is free, needs no account and focuses on iPhone + Mac: teleport, real routes, saved circuits and Wi-Fi with the screen locked.
- 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.
- 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 collects no personal data: it sends anonymous usage counts (how often it opens and simulates, never your locations) to the developer's own analytics — you can turn it off in About — and opens the developer's website in a browser tab when it starts.
