In multiple scenarios, you may want to hide your real location, such as fooling your family on social networks to make them think you are somewhere else, changing location to get more friends in location-based dating apps, or gaining access location-restricted apps or games.

UltFone iPhone location Changer is an app that you can use for this purpose. This app must be installed on a Mac or Windows computer. After installation, connect your iPhone to the computer and you can set a different location for specific apps than where you are actually at that moment.
