Questions

Is it safe for my iPhone?

It uses the same location-simulation feature Apple gives app developers. Nothing is installed on the phone, and closing the app puts the real location back.

Do I need to jailbreak?

No. It works on a normal iPhone with Developer Mode switched on.

Which iPhones and iOS versions work?

iPhones on iOS 17 or newer. When Apple changes something in a new iOS release, an update follows.

How do I get it after paying?

Your receipt email has the download link. Run Location Changer Setup and follow the steps on screen.

Can I use it in games?

Many games ban location changing and can suspend accounts that do it. Location Changer isn't made for that, and refunds aren't given for game bans.

Is it open source?

Yes. It's built on the open-source pymobiledevice3 project and released under the GPL licence. The source code is here. Buying gets you the ready-made installer, updates and help.

It won't connect. What now?

The app tells you what's wrong next to the status dot. If you're still stuck, email with a screenshot.
