Frequently asked questions

Answers to common setup and location questions.

What devices can I use?

GPSPhantom changes the location of a connected iPhone. Start with the download page to find the current desktop installer.

Do I need to stay plugged in?

Yes. Keep your iPhone connected and GPSPhantom open while using a changed location or running a route.

Does it work with every app?

Apps that use your iPhone's GPS location can see the changed location. Some apps use other information or take time to refresh.

How do I go back to normal?

Click Deactivate in Quick Location or Routes. If another app keeps showing the old place, reopen it or restart your iPhone.

GPSPhantom doesn't change your IP address. Location behavior can vary between apps.
