It doesn’t work.

This is all bullshit, to advertise bullshit.

No I’ve seen it work haha. Just want to know if there’s a way to tell if someone is using it or not

There are no location spoofers unless your bro is jailbroken.

14.8 JB here. I used Relocate Reborn. Free. Works OK but instal is clunky (idk where dev has repo at this point either).

Never pay for this stuff.

Look up imyfone anyto. It’s not free but he has it and it works. Just knowing if there’s a way I can be able to tell if the location hes sharing is a spoofed one or the real one.

Hey there, thought I might be able to provide some additional context. OP, the reason people are calling out your brothers app as BS is because of how location works on iPhone.

There are two ways location services can work. 1. If you are checking location via an online web app, then they can detect location via IP. This can be spoofed via a simple VPN, and is how things like unlocking Netflix in a foreign country works.

The second way location services work is by using the GPS in the phone. For security reasons, this is handled by IOS itself and while apps can request to read the location, they do not have the ability to set the location. Apps on the phone itself use this method. At best your brother can turn off location services, but he cannot “spoof” the location that shows up in find my iPhone.

The one case where this changes is if the iPhone is jailbroken. iPhones that are jail broken have “no limits” so to speak and anything can be modified, including the location data.

Another way to spoof location data is by taking advantage of iOS’s modular nature to connect it to an external GPS receiver. I don’t know a lot about these devices or how they work. I know pilots use them to add reliable GPS to their devices since the internal gps isn’t rated for flight. It’s possible the application you mentioned is emulating one of these devices and purposely feeding the phone with bad data, but I’m not sure.

But to answer you question, you can’t really know. You can track your brothers location over time to try and identify and sudden moves or unexplained jumps, but that’s it. If the system didn’t think the system was real it wouldn’t report it to begin with.

Thanks so much for the response! I will say for his spoofing he downloaded an app to his Mac and his iPhone has to be connected to the Mac and then he can change it from there. He even showed me he can make it so that he’s driving somewhere while just being in the same room next to me. I’ll link a video explaining it.

I’m just thinking there HAS to be a way to see through this and either see the real location or just see if he is spoofing or not.
