Hide My Location on iPhone —
You Decide What Apps See

How do you hide your real location on iPhone?

On iPhone you hide your location in two layers. First, use Apple’s built-in Location Services: go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services and set each app to While Using or Never, which decides who can read your position at all. Second, for the apps you still allow, control what location they see by setting your iPhone’s GPS spot yourself. A location app lets you search any place or drop a pin and report that spot instead of your real coordinates. Together these put you in charge: Apple’s controls limit access, and setting your own GPS location decides what gets shared. There’s no jailbreak and no computer required on iOS 16 or later — and you can switch back to your real position whenever you want.

Most people don’t want to broadcast their exact whereabouts to every app on their phone. Social apps map you on a friends’ feed, shopping apps log where you browse, and games tie features to your coordinates. Hiding your location is really about control — choosing what each app gets to know rather than letting your real position leak by default.

This app focuses on that one job. You pick the GPS location your iPhone shares, apply it in a tap, and leave it until you switch back. There’s no account to create, no ads, and nothing about you sent off the device. It pairs naturally with iOS’s own privacy settings: lock down access in Location Services, then decide what the location itself should be here.

Because it’s a native iPhone app rather than a web wrapper, it feels instant and looks like part of iOS. Set a spot, keep your real location private, and change it back the moment you want to — the choice stays with you, not the apps.
