How to Change GPS on Android

Android location basics

Android exposes location to apps through Google Play services and device sensors. Virtual location tools override what apps see.

Preparation

• Enable developer options only if your tool requires it.
• Charge your phone and use a stable USB cable for first setup.
• Back up important data before trying new software.

Typical workflow

1. Install the location tool on your computer or phone (per product instructions).
2. Enable mock location or companion mode as guided.
3. Pick coordinates or search for a city.
4. Open your target app and confirm the new location.

Android-specific tips

• Some apps detect mock locations — use reputable tools and follow updates.
• Clear app cache if the old location persists.
• Avoid running multiple spoofers at once.
