3 Ways to Change GPS Location on Snapchat

Snapchat is a popular social software that allows you to share snaps with friends. It can also share real-time location with friends, but some people don't want to reveal their true location and they want tools to change or hide their location. This article will introduce 3 methods to change location on Snapchat.

Part 1: What is the shared location feature on Snapchat?
Snapchat’s “Share Live Location” is a live location sharing feature and an extension to Snap Maps. It shares your whereabouts on a map and acts as a buddy system to help friends track each other's whereabouts to ensure safety.

To implement this safety feature, Snapchat has partnered with It's On Us, a national nonprofit program centered on ending sexual assault on campuses.

The app also has a feature that allows you to see someone’s last location on Snapchat. However, the last location feature only shows your approximate location and only updates your location information when you open the app.

Part 2: How to Change Location on Snapchat
This feature comes in handy when you're out on your own and don't want your friends or family to worry. Because your friends or family can check your latest location in real time to make sure you are safe. However, when you are playing with people you know and don't want others to know your true location, then you need to change locations.

Best way to change location on Snapchat
iWhere iPhone Location Changer is a location changer installed on your computer and currently only supports iPhone devices. Just connect your phone to your computer via a data cable, and then change the location with one click on the iWhere program. Even if you disconnect after changing your location, your location will be the changed location.

Key features:
Modify Location: You can change the location with one click by clicking on the location on the map or searching for the location in the search box.

One-stop Mode: In this mode, you can set the starting point and end point, select the moving speed and click "Start Move", and your new route will be set.

Multi-stop Mode: This mode supports the selection of multiple waypoints, so you can go to more places. At the same time, you can also set the speed of movement to make your movement on the map look more realistic.

Joystick Mode: This is the function to change the direction of movement. First you need to change the location under Modify Location and then try to change the movement direction. You can change the movement direction through the mouse and keyboard. They have two different modes: Free Mode or Mouse Mode.

How to use:
Taking the One-stop Mode function as an example, click on the map to select any starting point and end point.
Or search for the starting point and end point in the search box and click "Use the starting point/Use the ending point"
Then slide the speed button to set the appropriate speed, and finally click "Start Move" to complete the move.
Use VPN
Snapchat relies on GPS rather than IP addresses to track user locations, which means simply changing your IP address using a VPN won't change your location on the app. However, some VPNs, such as Surfshark, offer GPS spoofing capabilities that allow you to change your location on Snapchat.
In addition to location-changing capabilities, VPNs are invaluable for a variety of general purposes, such as privacy and security. They change your IP address and provide features including data encryption and protection against online threats such as malware.
Take Surfshark VPN as an example
how to use:
Download the VPN app and install it on your device
Connect to a server in the location of your choice
Go to Surfsharks advanced settings, turn on the Overlay GPS location feature and follow the further Surfshark instructions
Open Snapchat and start taking photos.

How to change your location with Snapchat map location settings
Activating and deactivating location sharing settings on the Snapchat app is very simple. Open the snapshot map and click the Settings menu cog in the upper right corner.

If you want to make yourself invisible and stop all location sharing, set the Ghost Mode switch to On (green). When asked to choose how long Ghost Mode should be on, select "Until off." To reactivate location sharing, return to the menu and turn off the Ghost Mode switch (gray).

Unfortunately, Ghost Mode does not automatically guarantee complete privacy and security. Additionally, if you want to completely change your location, turning ghost mode on or off won't do the trick. Instead, you need to install a professional and reliable location changer.

Conclusion
This article introduces 3 effective ways to change the location of Snapchat. Location-changing software is the most effective way to hide your location because it can be located anywhere in the world and can set the movement speed so that even your friends won't find it easily. The second way is to use a VPN, and although it states that you can use GPS mode to override the location of the VPN connection, it is unknown whether you can choose any location in the world. The third way is to hide your location but not show your fake location, but you can still see the friends who share the location. The three methods have their own characteristics, and you need to choose the method that suits your equipment according to different situations.
