Therefore, for better results and performance, turn off your WiFi first, go to the Settings section, then go to a location, activate it, and set its mode to GPS only.

To create a fake GPS location, follow these steps:

  • Then, tap the green play button in the lower right corner of the screen.
  • This will set a new location for you.
