Virtual Location for iPhone —
Simulate Any GPS Spot

Create a virtual GPS location your iPhone reports everywhere

To set a virtual location on iPhone, install this free app from the App Store, open it, and choose where you want to be. Search for any city, address, or landmark, or tap the map to drop a pin on exact coordinates. Then set that spot live — and your iPhone starts reporting it to your apps as your GPS position. It works on any iPhone running iOS 16 or later, with no jailbreak, no computer, and no configuration profiles. The whole flow is three taps: pick a place, place a pin, and activate. Once your virtual location is live, every app that reads GPS sees it as real, so there's nothing to set up app by app. You can swap to a different virtual spot whenever you like, or save the places you use most and jump between them instantly.

The phrase virtual location is the honest one: you're not breaking anything or hacking your phone — you're simply choosing the GPS coordinates your iPhone hands out. Search for a place, set it, and that becomes the position your apps read. Maps, social apps, weather, games — they all see one consistent virtual location, because the change happens at the source rather than in each app.

Engineers already do this every day: Xcode ships with a simulate-location feature so developers can test how their apps behave from a given GPS point. This app brings that same capability out of the IDE and into one tap, so you don't need a Mac, a cable, or a single line of code to put yourself anywhere on Earth.

Because it's a native iPhone app rather than a web wrapper, setting a virtual location feels instant and looks like part of iOS. There's no account to create and no data to hand over — your saved virtual spots stay on your device.
