Fake Location for Snapchat
Control Your Snap Map Spot

How do you change your Snapchat location on iPhone?

Snap Map shows your friends a Bitmoji at whatever GPS location your iPhone reports, so the way to change your Snapchat location is to change that underlying location before you open the app. On iPhone, open a location app like Fake GPS, search the place you want to share — or drop a pin for an exact spot — and tap to set your GPS location there. When you switch back to Snapchat and open Snap Map, your Bitmoji appears at the spot you chose. To control sharing itself, pair this with Snapchat's built-in Ghost Mode and "My Location" settings, which decide whether friends can see you at all. Together they let you share a general city instead of your exact street, or stop sharing entirely — keeping you in control of your own privacy on the map.

Most people reach for this because Snap Map can feel too precise. Sharing your live location down to the building is a lot to reveal, even to close friends. Setting a broader spot — your neighborhood or city center rather than your front door — lets you stay part of the map without broadcasting exactly where you sleep.

This is a privacy tool, not a way to fool anyone. We don't encourage using it to deceive friends or family, or to get around Snapchat's Terms of Service. Used honestly, it simply gives you the same control over shared location that you already expect from the rest of your iPhone — you decide how much to reveal, and to whom.

Because it's a native iPhone app, there's no jailbreak, no computer, and no sign-in. Pick a location, open Snapchat, and the spot you chose is the spot your Snap Map shows.
