Do not use location spoofing unless explicitly told to do so as part of your workspace instructions. Otherwise, location spoofing represents a breach of the Freelancer Services Agreement.

You are testing an app that has location dependent features or requires you to simulate moving/driving? As there have been several questions regarding spoofing your device location for test purposes, we decided to gather some tricks and tips from our network on how to set up location spoofing for your Android and iOS test devices.

Android
For Android devices, use a location/route spoofing app such as Lockito. Steps to get started:
Download and install Lockito.
Ensure GPS is enabled and the app has the necessary permissions.
Open Settings > About phone.
Tap Build number seven times to unlock Developer Options (this may vary slightly depending on your device).
Open Settings > Developer Options.
Turn on Allow mock locations and select Lockito.
In the Lockito app, set your desired location or route within Lockito.
Start the simulation and verify how the app responds
Check Compatibility
Some Android versions or manufacturer-specific interfaces (such as Samsung One UI, Xiaomi MIUI) might have slightly different menu paths. Double-check compatibility with your device and update your tools as necessary to avoid issues
iOS
Compared to Android, location spoofing for iOS devices is a bit more complex. To spoof your location on your device you need a Mac or Windows PC with additional software.
Mac: Follow a step-by-step guide.
PC: Use third-party software, such as iTools.
