HOW TO MOCK YOUR OWN REAL TIME LOCATION AND FOOL EVEN GOOGLE MAPS AND WHATSAPP LIVE LOCATION SENDER
I. Understanding the Mock Location Method:
A. App Installation: To get started, you need to download and install the "Mock Location" app from the Play Store. You can find the app by searching for "Mock Location" in the app store. Once you've found it, tap on the app and follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it on your device. Grant the necessary permissions to ensure the app functions properly.
The app is available on Google Playstore, so there is no worries for your privacy and other personal and sensitive precautions.
B. Enabling Developer Mode: Before we dive into the mock location process, you'll need to enable the developer mode on your Android device. This mode allows you to access advanced settings and make modifications to your device's software.
- On most Android devices, you can enable developer mode by going to the "Settings" menu and scrolling down to find the "About Phone" or "About Device" section.
- Tap on "About Phone" and look for the "Build Number" or "Software Version" entry.
- Tap on the "Build Number" or "Software Version" multiple times (usually around 8 to 10) until you see a message indicating that developer mode has been enabled.
Activating Developer Mode: Once you have enabled developer mode, go back to the main settings menu.
Scroll down to find the newly appeared "Developer Options" or "Developer Settings" entry.
Tap on it to access the developer mode settings.
II. Configuring Mock Location Settings:
A. Selecting the Mock Location App: Now that developer mode is activated, it's time to configure the mock location settings. Follow these steps to set up the mock location app as the default for your device:
- In the developer mode settings, scroll down to find the "Select Mock Location App" option or a similar setting. As you can see in the below image, its the 4th option from bottom.
- Tap on it to proceed.
- A list of available apps will be displayed. Look for the "Mock Location" app that you previously downloaded and installed as showed in the below image.
- Tap on the app to select it as the default mock location app for your device, and you are done with it.
B. Setting Up the Mock Location: With the mock location app selected, you're now ready to set up the desired location and activate the mock location feature. Now come back to your home screen and open the Mock Location app.
- Once the app opens, you will be presented with a map interface.
- Use your fingers to zoom in or out and navigate to the desired location on the map.
- To select a particular location, long-press on that point on the map until a red location symbol appears as shown in below image. Here I have selected a placed addressed as "Monte Coman" located in "Mendoza Province" near Argentina.
- Tap on the activate button or a similar option to set the selected location as your mock location.
- At this point, the app may prompt you to disable the "Google Location Accuracy" option from your device's settings as shown in the below image.
- To do this, go to your device's main settings menu and find the location settings.
- Look for the "Google Location Accuracy" or a similar option and disable it.
III. Testing and Pranking:
A. Exploring the Mocked Location on Google Maps: Now that you've configured the mock location, let's see the magic in action by testing it on Google Maps.
- Launch the Google Maps app on your device.
- Once Google Maps is open, look for the "My Location" button, usually represented by a blue dot.
- Tap on the "My Location" button to see the magic unfold.
- Instead of displaying your real location, Google Maps will show the mocked location you set using the mock location app.
B. Fooling Friends on WhatsApp: Apart from Google Maps, you can also prank your friends by sending them your mocked location on WhatsApp.
- Open a chat conversation with the friend you want to prank.
- Tap on the attachment icon (usually a paperclip) within the chat window.
- Select the "Location" option from the menu that appears.
- WhatsApp will display your current location, but it will reflect the mocked location you set using the mock location app.
Now sit back and enjoy the surprise and confusion of your friends as they see your location somewhere unexpected. Remember to reveal the prank and have a good laugh together afterward.
IV. Responsible Usage and Disclaimer:
A. Ethical Considerations: While mocking your location can be a fun way to prank friends, it's important to use this technology responsibly and ethically.
Privacy and Consent: Always respect the privacy of others and obtain their consent before pranking them with a mocked location.
Ensure that your pranks do not invade someone's personal space or cause any harm or distress.
