Mock Location on iPhone —
Set a Fake GPS Spot

How do you set a mock location on iPhone?

On Android you'd dig into Developer Options and pick a "mock location app." iPhone works differently — iOS has no mock location toggle anywhere in Settings, so you get the same result with a dedicated app. Install this one free from the App Store, open it, and you're looking at a world map. Search for any place — a city, an address, a landmark — or tap the map to drop a pin on the exact coordinates you want. Tap the button and your iPhone starts reporting that mock GPS location in one move. No jailbreak, no developer mode, no computer or cables. Want to move? Pick a new spot and tap again — the mock location updates instantly. Save the places you use most and switch between them with a single tap whenever you need a different mock GPS position.

The phrase "mock location" comes from Android, where it's a developer setting buried in a menu. On iPhone there's no equivalent switch, which is exactly why people search for how to do it. This app is the iOS answer: it stands in for the toggle Android users expect and lets you set a fake GPS spot without any of that setup.

People mock their iPhone's location to test the location logic in apps they're building, plan trips before they travel, scout a neighborhood from across the world, or simply control the GPS coordinates their phone hands out. Whatever the reason, the flow stays the same — search, pin, set.

Because it's a native iPhone app rather than a website wrapper, it feels instant and looks like part of iOS. No account, no sign-in, and your saved mock spots stay on your device.
