Change Your Location on
Instagram on iPhone

Set your iPhone's GPS, and Instagram follows

To change your location on Instagram on iPhone, you change the GPS your iPhone reports — and Instagram reads it automatically. Open Fake GPS, search for the city, address, or landmark you want, or drop a pin on the map, then tap TELEPORT. Now open Instagram. When you add a location to a post or Story, the tags Instagram suggests come from your new GPS spot, with the place you picked at the top of the list. Your Explore tab and nearby suggestions shift to that city too, so you see what's trending there. The whole flow takes three taps — search, pin, teleport — and works on any iPhone with iOS 16 or later, with no jailbreak, no computer, and no account.

Instagram leans on your device location for more than just the tag picker. It feeds the nearby places it offers, the local accounts it recommends, and the Explore content it thinks you'll like. When that location is locked to where you physically stand, every suggestion is tied to one spot. Move your GPS with Fake GPS and the whole experience travels with you — tag a beach in Bali, preview the food scene in a city you're about to visit, or line up the location label you want on your next post.

Because Fake GPS is a native iPhone app rather than a website pretending to be one, the switch is instant and the map looks like part of iOS. Save the places you tag often and jump between them with a single tap, so your Instagram location is always exactly where you want it.
