Thanks to satellite technology, it has never been easier to pinpoint your exact location than it is today. GPS technology, combined with WiFi and cell towers, makes it incredibly easy for mapping apps to determine your location and get an accurate route to your home, work, or nearest store.
Unfortunately, this level of location accuracy comes with one big drawback: the lack of privacy. However, you can trick some apps on your phone into thinking you are somewhere else. In this article, we have selected the 7 best GPS spoofing apps for Android.
Mock GPS with Joystick
If you’re looking for a fast and easy-to-use GPS spoofer for your Android phone, then the Mock GPS with Joystick app is a great choice. This free app will help you spoof your location after giving the app the necessary permissions.
Like most GPS spoofing apps, Mock GPS with Joystick has a simple and user-friendly interface. It is equipped with a viewfinder from Google Maps, which will allow you to accurately select the desired location. Once you place a marker on the map, you can sort of move there (at least your phone will think so).
Mock Locations
Like Mock GPS with Joystick, Mock Locations is a location spoofing app that also lets you create a fake route that you pretend to be moving in real time. It’s probably one of the more polished apps on our list, with a simple interface that uses Google Maps data to display your fake location or build fake trips.
You can pause the fake route at any time, change your speed, or even turn sideways to mimic real human or bicycle movements.
This app has a free trial that will be available to you for the first 24 hours.
Fake GPS – ByteRev
Fake GPS, which has a rather telling name, is exactly the application you have been looking for for a long time. This easy-to-use GPS spoofer for Android devices uses the Google Maps viewfinder to fake your phone’s location on a map.
Already more than 5 million people have installed this application and change their location as they like. You can save the places you visit most in your favorites list or randomize your movement using the app’s built-in settings.
If you’re having trouble running the program, you can use Android ADB commands to control the app and choose your location with even more precision.
Fake GPS Go Location Spoofer
The complex and long name of the app Fake GPS Go Location Spoofer may confuse you at first, but it is one of the best programs on the market for spoofing your location. As its name suggests, this app is perfect for users who want to fake their GPS location while playing various games (such as Pokemon Go).
The free version of the program includes standard features, such as other applications from our list. This is real-time spoofing your location, creating a fake location history and a list of favorite places.
If you upgrade to the Pro version, you can create entire fake trips with customizable map speeds and a joystick to manually control your location. In addition to visiting fake locations, you can also choose stops along your fake route to create a more realistic picture.
For Pokemon Go fans, this app also includes the game’s gym locations and special points, Pokestops, where you can find your favorite characters. You can catch them all, but who said you have to leave the house to do this?
GPS Emulator – RosTeam
If you need a simple GPS spoofer for your Android phone, then the GPS Emulator app is a good option. The application is completely free and has a simple interface with convenient buttons at the bottom of the screen.
They are the ones who will help you set a pin code so that no one can change your fake location or turn it off without your knowledge. You can also view the map in various modes, including satellite or landscape view.
There are no additional settings or features to worry about – as said before, this is a simple location spoofer to help you stay private.
Fake GPS Location – Hola
If you want to go all-in, you can pair a GPS spoofer with a VPN app to hide both your IP address and current location. Fake GPS Location is an app created by one of the VPN providers, Hola VPN.
Like the other GPS spoofers on our list, this app gives you the ability to fake your location with an easy-to-use search bar and map view. If you want to hide the places you’ve been looking for, you can quickly clear your location history.
This app will work well if you are a Hola VPN customer. However, it is worth noting that the program is also completely free for other users. You can pair it with any VPN provider, giving you extra protection against unwanted spying.
Fake GPS Location – Lexa
The Fake GPS Location app from the developers of Lexa is a great option for GPS spoofing your phone. The program offers "Press-and-go" location spoofing and has several advanced features for more advanced users.
For example, you can combine it with the Tasker app to automatically generate fake locations. When you get close to a certain place, you can set this app to automatically hide your real location.
Like the other apps on our list, Fake GPS Location gives you the ability to search for specific locations, set a pincode in the built-in viewfinder, and view a list of your past fake locations. It is also worth noting that the program is absolutely free.
