Elsewhere
Works on iOS 17.4 through iOS 27

Be somewhere else.

Elsewhere moves your iPhone's location anywhere on Earth, and every app on the phone believes it. No jailbreak. No computer, after the first four minutes.

One licence covers Mac, Windows and the iPhone app.

Three steps, then you're done

1

Install from your computer, once

Plug your iPhone into a Mac or PC and click Set Up iPhone. Elsewhere signs the phone app with your own free Apple ID and installs it. Takes about four minutes.

2

Unplug and leave the computer behind

From then on it's just your iPhone. Open Elsewhere, pick a place on the map, tap Spoof.

3

Every app sees the new location

It's set at the system level using the pathway Apple ships for developers — not a fake inside one app. Stop puts your real GPS back.

What you get

Teleport anywhere

Tap the map, search an address, or paste coordinates.

Real-road routes

Walk, cycle or drive a route at a speed you choose, following actual roads and posted limits.

Saved places

Keep the spots you use often a tap away.

No jailbreak

Your iPhone stays completely stock. Nothing about iOS is modified.

Fully reversible

Stop, or restart the phone, and real GPS takes over immediately.

Your locations stay yours

The places you pick are never sent to us. The only thing Elsewhere checks is your licence.

Before you buy, the honest requirements

  • A Mac or Windows PC, once. Apple requires a computer to install an app this way. You won't need it again afterwards.
  • iOS 17.4 or later, with Developer Mode switched on — Apple's own toggle, in Settings.
  • Wi-Fi to start a spoof. iOS only runs the service Elsewhere uses while the phone is on a local network.
  • Elsewhere left running in the background. Force-quit it and your real location returns about thirty seconds later.

Questions

Do I need a computer?

Once, to install the phone app — Apple requires a computer to sideload an app this way. After that the computer stays home.

Which iPhones work?

Any iPhone or iPad on iOS 17.4 or later. You'll switch on Developer Mode in Settings, which is Apple's own toggle.

Does it work on cellular?

Starting a spoof needs Wi-Fi. iOS only runs the developer service Elsewhere talks to while the phone is on a local network, so cellular alone isn't enough to begin — this is Apple's limit, not ours.

Can my accounts get banned?

Elsewhere doesn't touch your Apple ID. But some apps and games detect a simulated location and may restrict accounts that use one. That risk is yours to weigh.

What happens if I force-quit the app?

The spoof ends about thirty seconds later and real GPS returns. Leave Elsewhere running in the background and it holds — through the lock screen and other apps.

Is this safe for my iPhone?

Yes. There's no jailbreak and no modification to iOS. The only thing added is the Elsewhere app, which you can delete like any other.
