FakeTraveler is a free and open-source Android app that fakes your device's GPS location via Android's mock location feature. Users pick a spot on a map or enter coordinates, and can optionally mock movement over a period of time.

Use cases

  • fake my phone's gps location on android
  • spoof location to test a location-based app
  • protect privacy by faking device location
  • mock location for android without root
  • simulate movement between locations over time

When to choose

  • you need a simple, open-source mock location app on Android
  • you want to test how apps behave at different GPS coordinates
  • you prefer F-Droid apps without trackers

When to avoid

  • you need to spoof GPS on iOS or desktop platforms
  • your device cannot enable developer options or mock location apps
  • you need advanced route simulation or joystick-based spoofing
