4 Useful Tips to Change Location on iPhone/iPad

In the following guide, we will introduce four useful tips to change your location on iPhone or iPad. Each has its strengthens and weaknesses. Depending on your needs, apply any one of them to change the GPS location on the iPhone. 

Tip 1. Change GPS Location on iPhone by Jailbreaking Your iPhone

For some reasons, the App Store may present you with very few choices of spoofing apps. If you want to have more options, you can jailbreak your device and use the Cydia app, a non-official app store that provides many applications for jailbroken iOS devices, to download more spoof apps.

But note that jailbreaking is firmly opposed by Apple, mainly because Apple wants to protect its commercial interests, so you may encounter many difficulties while jailbreaking your device. 

Tip 2. Fake Location on iPhone via Spoof Location Apps

If you just want to trick a location-based app like Pokémon GO or some dating apps, a spoof location app is enough. There are many such apps in the App Store, you can search for one by inputting some keywords like "Spoof location" "Fake Address" or "Change Location" in the search box, then it will show you some options. Pick the highest-rated one that can satisfy your needs.

Tip 3. Change Location on iPhone without Jailbreak with EaseUS MobiAnyGo

If you neither find any workable spoofing apps nor want to jailbreak your iPhone, consider using some desktop-based software like EaseUS MobiAnyGo, a tool specifically designed to fake iOS devices' locations. By using this tool, you can do a lot of things like:
