However, sending fake ones is also another way with WhatsApp&#8217;s live location feature. So whether you are using the built-in settings of your phone or any third-party app, here is a simple guide to sending fake live locations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With WhatsApp Built-In Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using WhatsApp\u2019s built-in location settings, you can control location access without any third-party apps. It allows you to adjust your phone\u2019s privacy settings so that Whatsapp doesn\u2019t keep track of where you are. Sending a previously saved location using this method is simple and effective; however, it will not facilitate continuous live location updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Settings on your iPhone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"168\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/unnamedZGHN5XFK.png\" alt=\"open settings\" class=\"wp-image-479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/unnamedZGHN5XFK.png 168w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/unnamedZGHN5XFK-7x12.png 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to Privacy &amp; Security then Location Services.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/choose-location-service-1.png\" alt=\"go to location service\" class=\"wp-image-464\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/choose-location-service-1.png 385w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/choose-location-service-1-185x300.png 185w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/choose-location-service-1-7x12.png 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select WhatsApp and change the setting to Never.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, when you send a live location, it will show your last known location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For Android:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Settings and go to Apps &amp; Notifications.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/open-settings-and-choose-location-on-android-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/open-settings-and-choose-location-on-android-1-1.png 370w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/open-settings-and-choose-location-on-android-1-1-279x300.png 279w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/open-settings-and-choose-location-on-android-1-1-11x12.png 11w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select WhatsApp then Permissions then Location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose Deny or Ask every time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"497\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission-497x1024.jpg\" alt=\"choose location permission\" class=\"wp-image-466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission-497x1024.jpg 497w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission-768x1584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission-745x1536.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission-6x12.jpg 6w, https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/select-location-permission.jpg 776w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This prevents WhatsApp from accessing real-time location data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as for this method it\u2019s used to share a past location, and not some fake moving one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a Fake GPS Location App&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These apps are fun and for privacy and should all be used ethically.

It only shows your location if you choose to share it using the Live Location feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to track live location?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To track live location, the person must share it with you via WhatsApp&#8217;s Live Location feature, which provides real-time updates for the selected time duration. Or you can use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cellphonelocation.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">live mobile location tracker<\/a> to receive accurate and real-time location of any WhatsApp phone number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I freeze my location on WhatsApp?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can freeze your location by using a fake GPS app or by turning off location permissions after sharing your live location, stopping further updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending a fake live location on WhatsApp can be useful for privacy, pranks, and safety. You can achieve this using WhatsApp\u2019s built-in settings, fake GPS apps, or alternative methods like Google Maps sharing. However, always use these methods responsibly and avoid violating terms of service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp lets people share their real-time location with friends, family, or groups.
