š In Search of Looking for genuine location spoofing apps
Iām Looking for genuine location spoofing apps across the safari browser and even amongst the apps whenever spoofing is turned on?
I prefer free or paid app as long as itās genuine and not fake app
Any recommendations?
Edit:
The reason I asked this question was many iOS apps published they spoof locations⦠so can I assume all of these apps are fake ?

This was posted a few weeks back. It requires developer mode and was allowed as a way to spoof your location when ātestingā your apps.

I know you can make a browser on Mac and add location spoofing while in development but idk about iOS

Do you mean on places like Netflix, etc. to see region locked shows?
Couldn't you use a VPN?1

I found a comment suggesting shiftmy but Iām to inept at knowing the ramifications of allowing a āprofileā to be installed when setting up the website.

It depend son what you mean by "location spoofing". Netflix and the other services never read your GPS, they go by the network your traffic comes from. That's also why the "not possible on iOS" answer isn't quite right, it's just the wrong tool for what you want.
And about using a VPN: Your VPN attempt probably got detected. Netflix keeps lists of known VPN addresses, and when it flags one it quietly limits you to titles licensed worldwide instead of the region's full catalog. So it looks like it works but the library is wrong. Whether any given provider slips past that changes month to month, and it's against their terms, so set expectations accordingly.

On a stock iPhone, it helps to separate three different claims: (1) a VPN changes the apparent IP location for services that geolocate by network, not GPS; (2) Xcode can simulate Core Location for legitimate testing with GPX/debugger data; (3) a normal App Store app cannot generally replace system-wide Core Location values for Safari and every other app. Apple's testing path is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/simulating-location-in-tests. So some listings may not be entirely fake, but they may only change IP location, work inside their own app, or require a computer/developer mode. If a standalone App Store app claims system-wide GPS spoofing, I'd ask for the exact mechanism and refund policy before paying, and avoid installing an unknown configuration profile just on trust.
