Mock LocationWhat does Mock Location do?
It changes your Android location to a point you pick on the map: the GPS and network providers start reporting it to every app that asks the system for its location.
Full answerGetting started
What the app does, which phones it works on, how the website version differs from the RuStore one, and what is legal versus what is up to the user.
Which Android version do I need?
Android 8.0 (Oreo) or newer is the minimum supported version. The app targets current Android and is tested on recent versions, including Android 16.
Full answerDo I need root?
No. Root is neither needed nor used: just select Mock Location once as the mock location app in Android's developer options.
Full answerIs the app on Google Play?
Not on Google Play. The app is distributed in two ways: as an APK file directly from this website and through the Russian app store RuStore.
Full answerHow does the RuStore version differ from the APK on the website?
The location spoofing features are the same. There is one difference: the website version can download and install updates itself, while the RuStore version is updated only through RuStore — those are its rules.
Full answerCan I use it for free?
Yes. Changing your location is free and not limited in time. Premium unlocks favorites — up to 1,000 places — extends history to 1,000 entries and lets you connect more devices.
Full answerIs it safe for my Google account?
The app does not interact with your Google account, does not request access to it and does not send any data there — it changes the source of location data on the device itself.
Full answerDoes the app work on phones without Google services?
Yes. On devices without Google services — for example, current Huawei phones — spoofing works normally, and so do the map and search: they are built on Yandex Maps, not Google Maps.
Full answerIs it legal to change the location on my own phone?
Changing the coordinates on your own device is a built-in Android feature intended for development and testing. Liability arises not from spoofing itself but from what you use it for.
Full answerWho is the app for?
For developers and QA — to test location-based scenarios without going on site; for everyone else — for personal tasks in apps that support mock location.
