Set Fake Location in Android Mobile

                                   The best thing about having android mobile is , it is purely customize-able. So, today I'm gonna show you how to set fake location in android. Like any other customization, it doesn't require root access.
                                  So, how to do it?. See the video below and also see the steps described below.


  Steps:

1.Download "Fake GPS Location" app from play store.
2.Install it.
3.Go to Settings--Developer Options. If you can't find developer options in the settings, then go to Settings--About Phone and tap on Build Number for 7 times until you get a toast message "You are now a developer".
4.Enable Developer Options and Check the tick box on "Allow mock Locations"
5.Enable GPS on your device
6.Open the Fake GPS app and set the location you want and press "Set Location"

  Now the location is set to the fake location you set in Fake GPS app. This location will be used as your location on all applications including Maps, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp etc..

As you can see time stamp from the above images, it is not possible to move over to another country within two minutes. But I showed how to do that :) . Use it with your friends for fun.
