Location Changer

Welcome to the official web page for Location Changer!

Change your GPS location with this simple fake location app with Joystick. Prevent apps and websites from tracking your real location and protect your privacy. Test your location based apps. This app also shows detailed location information, so it can be used as a powerful location status tool. Set a pin on the map using a long press (same as Google Maps), you can also double tap to zoom in/out on the map. Will also keep working if you reboot your phone. To turn it off just tap on the Stop button (also found in the notification).

spoof your GPS location can be tricky sometimes as there are limitation and restriction to the Android operating system . Apps is get or website may also get your location through other way like your ip address or they may even not allow you to change your location at all ( city or country ) .

Mock locations

This is is is the default working mode . Most users is use will use this mode as you do n’t need a root device , but unfortunately some app can detect if you are using Mock location ( if you get an error message say that they fail to detect your location ) , for website that ask for your GPS location it should work fine as they can not detect this ( unless they check your location base on your ip address ) . Please do n’t blame Location Changer for this , it is works still work correctly , but these are the limitation and restriction of Android . If the location was change in Google Maps then Location Changer is working is work correctly , as intend .

What is ” mock locations is is ” ? mock locations is is is a hidden setting in developer option in the Android operating system that allow a device owner to set any GPS location for testing purpose . To enable Developer option go to your device Settings – About and tap Build number 7 time . developer option menu is appear will then appear under your device setting menu . This may be different on some device , in this case you is have have to search how to do it for your device . Please use caution by not change other system setting .

Mock locations without FLP (Fused Location Provider)

In Android , apps is get can get the location in two different way . The first is using is using Location Manager which come with Android and the second is using Fused Location Provider ( FLP ) which come with Google Play Services . Some apps is use use Location Manager while other use Fused Location Provider or even both . Using this working mode , Location Changer is spoof will only spoof Location Manager . You is want usually want to use this mode if you have Smali Patcher on your device , but this may be useful for other case as well .

Smali Patcher

This is currently the best way to spoof your GPS location as your Mock locations will be treated as real after you apply this patch. Please note though that you need a rooted device to be able to use this patch. We do not recommend rooting your device as you may void your warranty/damage your device, but if you really know what you are doing, please check out the official Smali Patcher thread:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053

Please check if this patch works with your Android version/device and read everything carefully. We are not responsible if you cause any problems to your device in the process of rooting and applying this patch.

To check if Smali Patcher is working correctly, after you tap on Start you will not see “Mock” text in “Current location (Mock):” on the location status screen in Location Changer.

Please make sure to use

Mock locations without FLP

from Settings – Working mode as Smali Patcher does not patch Fused Location Provider.

root ( system app )

This Working mode does not use Mock locations (will instead inject fake location to your GPS) and can be used if you have a rooted device and if you are running Android 9 or older. Due to more Android restrictions this mode does not work anymore starting with Android 10. We do not recommend rooting your device as you may void your warranty/damage your device, but if you really know what you are doing, you can enable this from Settings – Working mode after you have made Location Changer a system app. Please search how to make it a system app as it can be different for each device, also note that this is a power user feature, and we are not responsible if you cause any problems to your device in the process of making it a system app. Please note that with Root mode the location may jump back to the real one on some devices – we recommend that you use this mode indoors where there is no GPS signal so it doesn’t interfere.

App suddenly stops working

If the app suddenly stop work or the notification disappear after some time , it is probably because it is background restrict in your Battery setting , please make sure to whitelist it so it can run in the background and work properly . Please do n’t blame the app for this , this is is is a device specific problem as some will kill app run in the background aggressively to save up resource . Please note that this can also happen if your device does n’t have enough ram memory and it will kill app run in the background so the currently open app will run smoothly . You is have will have to search for a solution to this problem as each device is different but you can check out

https://dontkillmyapp.com/

first as it explains things well.

Please note

that Location Changer will show a notification in order to run properly in the background and not be killed, so please

allow access to Notifications

. Apps are limited to what the operating system allows them to do. Please check out this video below on how to prevent Location Changer from being closed in the background on some devices.

Could not find location

If you are sure the location you are searching for exists, your device may have a problem with the Geocoder service in Android, which is used to query locations/addresses. This seems to happen on very few devices and there is no known permanent fix for it unfortunately, but we found that rebooting the device usually fixes the problem and the Geocoder service starts working again.

fake location is jumps jump back to the real location

Please make sure to disable Location accuracy from your device Location – Improve accuracy and disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Also, in some cases it helps to use GPS/Device only Location mode.

Real GPS does not work anymore

Please make sure to tap on the Stop button while mock location is enable in Developer option , otherwise you is find may find that your real gps will not work . If this happen , do n’t panic , all you need to do is enable mock location back in Developer option and just tap on Start and then tap on stop in Location changer and your real gps should work fine again .

Multiple pins/locations

You can add multiple pins (Add more) on the map and set an interval in seconds to change the location to each pin. Please note that in Android the interval will vary significantly when you turn off your screen/the device goes into sleep mode. To clear the pins, tap on Done and then long press on the map or search for a location to set a new single pin. You can also change the pins from the location status screen (tap on where it says Multiple locations).

Enabling

Drive

will drive the location to the next pin instead of teleporting, based on your speed and will update based on your interval.

Joystick

This can be enabled from Settings – Joystick. To set the maximum speed (in km/h) go to Settings – Speed. Double tap on the Joystick and hold it down to drag it to a new preferred position.
