Fake GPS location for Android

What the app does

Fake GPS Location (by Lexa) is a free utility that lets you send a false GPS position to apps and services on your phone. It can place your device at any coordinates worldwide, either by selecting a random point or by choosing a specific address. The interface is simple and uncluttered, so new users should be able to get started without trouble.

Ways to pick a location

• Randomly choose a spot by tapping the green play icon located at the lower-right corner.
• Enter a precise place via the search field at the top and pick from the suggested results.
• Stop the spoofing by pressing the round pause icon at the lower-left; your device’s location will then return to its real coordinates after recalibration.

Key options and extras

• GPS calibration tools to help improve accuracy.
• Save and review previously used locations from an in-app history log.
• ISP spoofing capability to alter reported network details.
• Automate actions with third-party tools such as Tasker.
• Control how often the fake location updates by adjusting the update interval.
• Option to start the service automatically when the device boots.

Known issue and recommended fixes

There is a reported issue where a phone can remain stuck on the last spoofed location even after the spoofing app is removed. This is caused by the system retaining the mock location rather than a hardware fault.

Possible remedies:

• Reinstall Fake GPS, set the location back to your real position, and leave the app running for several hours.
• Use a GPS utility (for example, a satellite-status or GPS-fix app) to obtain a fresh satellite lock; this may require repeated attempts with pauses between tries.
• Combining both approaches often speeds recovery. In most cases the device returns to normal within a day or two.

The developer provides a workaround and additional notes on the official app listing if you need detailed instructions.

Bottom line

Fake GPS Location performs its core function well and is easy to use. It includes useful extras like ISP spoofing and automation support, but the reported persistence issue may concern some users. If that risk is acceptable, it’s a capable option worth trying; however, alternative spoofing apps are available if you prefer to compare choices.
