How do I change location on iPhone to another country or somewhere else?
From what I've learned so far, there are generally two types of iPhone location changes: one is your Apple ID/App Store region, and the other is your actual GPS location (used in maps, games, or social media apps). Changing your App Store region requires updating your Apple ID settings, canceling current subscriptions, and possibly adding a payment method valid in the target country. This method is useful for downloading region-locked apps but doesn’t affect your GPS.
In addition, you can make your iPhone location show different with the help of iPhone location changer software.
An iPhone location changer is a tool—usually a desktop app—that allows you to manually set a virtual GPS location on your iPhone without physically moving. It works by overriding your device’s location data, so apps on your iPhone (like Maps, social media, games, and dating apps) think you're somewhere else.
These tools are often used for changing location on iPhone:
- Accessing location-based app features or content, such as early game releases or regional filters on streaming and shopping apps
- Spoofing your location in location-aware games like Pokémon GO
- Protecting privacy by masking your real GPS location
- Changing check-in locations on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram
Most iPhone location changers connect your iPhone to a computer via USB and let you select a location on a map. Once applied, your iPhone will behave as if it's physically in that location until you stop the spoof or restart your device.
