Imagine you’re planning to surprise your family with an unexpected visit, or you want to buy a gift for your partner without them knowing. But what about the Find My app that constantly reveals your location? In case you have enabled location sharing with your relatives or loved ones. Today we’re revealing a smart and secure trick that will allow you to hide your real location on iPhone, while keeping the location sharing feature active, all without raising any suspicion! This innovative method will change the way you deal with your location privacy forever.
How to Hide Your Location on iPhone
Here's a clever trick that lets you continue sharing your location while showing a different location, and all you need is another Apple device you own. Here are the requirements:
◉ To hide your physical location, you must have an iPhone and an iPad, or two iPhones or two iPads.
◉ Sign in to your Apple account on both devices.
◉ Turn on Find My on both devices.
This method works by telling Find My to use the device's fixed location instead of your iPhone's location.
Steps to set up your first device
◉ Place the device you want to use its location, such as an iPad, in a convincing location, such as your home or office.
◉ On your iPhone or the device that will be with you:
◎ Open the Find My app, then tap the Me tab at the bottom of the screen.
◎ Then scroll down and look for the “Use This iPhone as My Location” option and make sure it is turned off.
Setting up the second device
◉ Open the Find My app, then tap the Me tab.
◉ Select “Use this [device] as My Location”.
◉ Then activate the “Share my location” button.
This way, your location will appear to those who share your tracking as the fixed location of the device, not your actual location with your iPhone or the device you have with you.
Back to normal
And when you want to go back to normal and resume regular location sharing, simply:
◉ Go back to the Find My app on your iPhone, and turn on the Use This iPhone as My Location option again.
