## Description

Mock Location sets a fake GPS location on your Android phone, so you can test location-based apps without leaving your desk. Search for an address or tap anywhere on the map, tap &quot;Set location here&quot;, and your device reports that spot until you stop.        <br>Built for developers and testers who need to check how an app behaves in another city, country or neighbourhood.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS                                                                                                                                                                                          <br> • Search any address, or tap the map to drop a pin                                                                                                    <br> • Tap &quot;Set location here&quot; to start the mock location                                                                                                   <br> • Move the mock to a new spot at any time                                                                                                  <br> • Stop mocking from the app or the notification and you&#39;re back to your real GPS location                                                                                <br> <br>SYSTEM-WIDE LOCATION                                                                                                                                                                                  <br> Mock Location uses Android&#39;s official mock location setting and feeds the GPS, network and fused location providers, so other apps on your device see the new position, not just this one. A notification keeps the location active in the background until you stop it.    <br><br>SAVED PLACES                                                                                    <br>Star the places you test most often and switch between them in one tap. Saved places are stored only on your device.<br><br>GUIDED SETUP<br>Android only lets one app change your location, and you pick it by hand in Developer options. The built-in setup guide walks you through it step by step and shows when everything is ready. It takes about a minute.                                                                                                                                       <br><br>PRIVATE BY DESIGN                                                                                                                                                                                     <br> • No account, no sign-in                                                                                                                                                                              <br> • No analytics: the app doesn&#39;t track how you use it or which places you mock                                                                                                                         <br> • Saved places never leave your device                                                                                                      <br> • Crash reports never include your location or your searches<br><br>GOOD TO KNOW                                                                                                                                                                                          <br>Some apps detect mock locations and ignore them. Others remember your last real location; force-stop them and reopen after you start mocking. On some phones the mock location setting resets after a reboot; the setup screen shows when that happens.
