About this app

Change your GPS location with this simple fake location app with Joystick. Prevent apps and websites from tracking your real location and protect your privacy. Test your location based apps. This app also shows detailed location information, so it can be used as a powerful location status tool. Set a pin on the map using a long press (same as Google Maps), you can also double tap to zoom in/out on the map. Will also keep working if you reboot your phone. To turn it off just tap on the Stop button (also found in the notification).

* Please read everything from this page before using the app: https://www.netlinkd.com/locationchanger/

* Please note: if the app suddenly stops working or the notification disappears after some time, it is probably because it is background restricted in your Battery settings, please make sure to whitelist it so it can run in the background and work properly. Also, if you are using Mock locations mode it is possible that some apps may detect that you are using a fake location and you may get an error message saying that they failed to detect your location, this is normal and Location Changer still works correctly but unfortunately Android can let apps know if you are using a Mock location.

* Joystick: this can be enabled from Settings - Joystick. To set the maximum speed (in km/h) go to Settings - Speed. Double tap on the Joystick and hold it down to drag it to a new preferred position.

* What is "Mock locations"? Mock locations is a hidden setting in Developer options in the Android operating system that allows a device owner to set any GPS location for testing purposes. To enable Developer options go to your device Settings - About and tap Build number 7 times. This may be different on some devices, in this case you have to search how to do it for your device. Please use caution by not changing other system settings.

* You can add multiple pins (Add more) on the map and set an interval in seconds to change the location to each pin. Please note that in Android the interval will vary significantly when you turn off your screen/the device goes into sleep mode. To clear the pins, tap on Done and then long press on the map or search for a location to set a new single pin. You can also change the pins from the location status screen (tap on where it says Multiple locations).
Enabling Drive will drive the location to the next pin instead of teleporting, based on your speed and will update based on your interval.

* Please note that this app does not change your IP address, this is not a VPN. Applications/websites that check your location based on your IP address may still detect your real location.

* Please note: to disable Mock locations on your device you will need to do it from Developer options. You normally do not need to disable it back, but some apps may not like it that you have it enabled, as they can detect this. Also, it is important to tap on the Stop button before you disable Mock locations to get your real location back.

This app is truly amazing. Its free as well to use and hardly if any advertisement to interrupt it. I would so recommend this to my friends and family.... And you choose how long for it change and keep your until you turn it off and when you go to your google maps it really tells you whatever the chosen place is will show up on google maps as well.And my phone is even tricked into believing what the change location app indicates. my phone set itself to Oregon time zone . lol

2024: Still works well. Any way to donate using Google Play balance? I like apps that let me do that. 2020: Developer responds quickly :). Original review: Seems to work quite well. Pretty easy to use. Just started playing with it. The altitude, speed and such are just numbers... Not sure if it's feet above sea level and mph or what.

You can use Remove ads for 24 hrs as many times as you want! Though we are having some issues with that feature at the moment as there are not enough of those rewarded ads, sorry! As for the numbers, just delete them so the textbox is empty and you will see what you need to input. Altitude is in meters above WGS 84 (~sea level). Thanks!

EDIT: Figured out how to move the joystick. Double tap for it. Definitely would help people with instructions or a tutorial at least. This app does what it says it will do. I would expect the average person struggling to understand it. Have to change this. At first I didn't see a description on the numbers given but note I do. U so expect the average person to struggle.
