Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Introducing Fake GPS - currently the best looking fake location app from all the fake location apps! Trick your phone into thinking that it is somewhere else. You can be in Rome, London, New York or simply anywhere in the world. It’s simple and great fun to trick people with. You can use the app to pull a prank or show that you’re somewhere else as an excuse. It’s a simple idea with a lot of potential. How does it work? 1. First enable the developer settings on your device(on older versions it is not needed). To enable the developer settings go to settings > about phone > and click on the android version about 7 times. 2. in the developer options enable mock locations. 3. set your location to be 'device only'(use only gps location). 4. open the app, move the red dot anywhere you like and click on the 'play button'. Important notes: - This fake location app requires to have google play services, and google maps installed. - It might not work with some apps, but it works with fb,whatsapp,twitter, and other apps. - it doesn't work with viber since it requiters network location enabled. - if the app stops working, or behaving strangely then simply restart the device. Feel free to contact me by email for anything regarding this app.

Fake Location APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Fake Location APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is ed74f54b83d3b4b6a2b7daada83e0df9.
