Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Location Faker app help you easily fake your location and pretend to be anywhere else in the world. Mask your location by searching for a specific location or simply by long press anywhere on the map. The app hides your real location (like a fake gps location changer). After selecting the exact location you can go to any other app and screenshot the new place to send to your friends. Start faking your GPS location and have fun with your friends! IMPORTANT: For the app to work you must enable "Mock Locations" on Developer settings. To do that go to Settings > About > tap rapidly on Build Number until it says “You are now a developer.” Then go into your developer setting and check “Allow mock locations“. For Android 6 and above in developers settings you need press "Select mock location app" and choose there "Fake Location - Change My Location"

Location Faker 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 Location Faker 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 68ec9c643ba994ffffec9be73be9bde9.
