A lot of users are concerned about faking their location and for good reasons too. Here’s how to do it on jailbroken iDevice.
What is location spoofing?
For those who don’t know, faking your location is essential for several reasons.
For example, you want to attend a friend’s birthday party and fool your parents into believing that you are still studying at home – this is where location faking comes in.
Location Spoofing/Faking is the act of changing your real location to a fake location.
Faking your location will make everyone believe you are present at a location different than your original location.
This can be done both on iOS as well as Android operating systems. In this guide, I will be dealing only with iOS devices.
Here are some more examples where you can employ spoofing to your advantage –
- Getting matches on Tinder from another location.
- Keeping your helicopter parents at bay.
- Avoiding clingy friends or relatives.
- Keeping your privacy intact.
Yes, you can do it on 3uTools. Please check this tutorial:

Best location faker Cydia tweaks [2017]
1. LocationFaker
LocationFaker is, without a doubt, the best fake location Cydia tweak right now. It is compatible with Find My iPhone, Tinder, Facebook and pretty much all other social networking apps.
This tweak works system-wide. It also offers good backward compatibility and can be installed on iOS 5, 6, 7, 8,9 and 10. You can download this tweak from BigBoss Cydia repo for $2.99.
2. LocationHandle
LocationHandle is yet another fake location tweak from the same developer. It offers similar functionality except for several advanced features such as automatically changing location, manually changing location in real-time, etc.
This jailbreak tweak is compatible with iOS 9 and 10. You can get it from the default BigBoss Cydia repo for $4.99.
This tweak can be a bit steep, but it really works well if you value your privacy.
3. Protect My Privacy
Protect My Privacy is a classic Cydia tweak that promises to protect your privacy. It’s more of a privacy protection suite for iOS rather than a specific location spoofing tweak.
It is rather old now and doesn’t offer features like its modern counterparts. However, it is very easy to use and, above all, free.
It supports iOS 5.1+, 6, 7, 8 and 9. As far as iOS 10+ is concerned, it only offers partial compatibility with this firmware. You can download this tweak from BigBoss Cydia repo for free.
