Privacy and security is very important today; The big problem is that by having our mobile device with us all the time, our data and daily routine are constantly exposed. For this reason, depending on the situation, it is quite positive to have the possibility of changing the location in Android , which is what we will see a little below..
change my location on android
In order to fake the location on Android, what we are going to do is use an application called "Fake GPS Location" which we can find in the Play Store. We are going to proceed to download and install the app, something that is done automatically.
Once we have it installed, we run it and we will have to configure it as a "Mock Location" provider. For this, we are going to have to enable the mobile developer options. We are going to go to Settings> About phone and press “Build number” several times until a message appears that says “You are now a developer” or “Developer mode activated”..
Next, we are going to go to Settings> System> Developer Options or Settings> Developer Options, it depends on the device and Android version.
Once we are in the Developer Options section, we will have to scroll to "Select mock location application"..
Here we will select “Fake GPS”.
Now we turn to the Fake GPS application. First, it will ask us to grant it permissions to access the files and media. It is possible to deactivate this and click on “Continue”. A warning message may also appear informing us that the app is designed for an older version of Android. However, it still works fine in newer versions.
Now we are ready to configure the location that we want. Simply, we are going to use our finger to move the pin to any place on the map that we want and then we will press the start button that is in the lower right part.
The application will close automatically and now we can try opening the Google Maps application, for example. In case we want to pause the app and stop spoofing the location on Android; we will simply have to slide down from the top of the screen to see the notifications. Here we will have to click on "Pause" in the "Fake GPS" notification.
