This article will share with you how to hide the location on your iPhone.

You can choose to do that for privacy reasons or when you don’t want a certain app or service on your device locating you. There are several ways to hide your location on iPhone and the one you choose will depend on how long you would like to hide your location.

Let’s begin with the solution that will not interfere with other features on the device.

1. Hide Your Location on iPhone with AnyGo

If you don’t want other people or apps tracking your device, but you don’t want to stop using some features of the device, you should consider faking your location rather than turning off location services completely. This way, if there are any location-based apps on your device, you can continue to use them without sharing your actual location.

The best way to fake your location on your iPhone is iToolab AnyGo iPhone location spoofer. This is a desktop tool that is very easy to use and highly effective. The following are some features:

  • No jailbreaking required, and no app installation in iPhone
  • 1-click location change from anywhere in the world.
  • Simulate the movement on the map with customized route and speed
  • Compatible with all major iOS versions.
  • User-friendly simple interfaces
  • Best suited for location-based service apps and games

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you use this tool to hide your location on iphone without anyone knowing:

Step 1: Download and install AnyGo on to your computer.

Step 2: Run the program and connect the iPhone to the computer. Click “Start” and you should see a map with the current location of the device.

2. Turn on Airplane Mode to Hide iPhone Location

The quickest way to hide the location on your iPhone is to enable Airplane mode. You can do that by simply opening the Control Center and tapping on the Airplane Mode icon.

Note: Once you successfully change the location using AnyGo, the virtual location remains the same unless you restart the phone or use the software to reset the location back to the original location. Each time you want to change the location, it is always recommended to check the map and identifies the current location.

This will disable all connections including Wi-Fi, cellular, and your location. Your iPhone will show your last know location.

But the downside of using this method is, you will not be able to make a phone call or even access Wi-Fi to browse the internet.

3. Use Another Device to Share Location

If you would like to hide your location from the Find my App and iMessage tracking, you can do that by sharing from another iOS device that is not moving. Using this method might fool someone into thinking that you are not moving at all.

If they check your location using Find my App or iMessage tracking, they will see a location, but not your actual location. Here’s how to do it:

  • Step 1: On the other iOS device open Settings.
  • Step 2: Tap on your name at the top.
  • Step 3: Select “Find My” and then tap on “Use This iPhone as My Location”.

4. Stop Sharing Your iPhone Location from Settings

If you want to hide your location from Find My Friends and iMessage and you don’t have another device to use, then you can simply choose to turn off location sharing completely.

This will make you completely invisible to your friends and family and they will not be notified that you have turned off location sharing.

Here’s how to do it:

  • Step 1: Open the Settings on your iPhone and tap on your name at the top of the window.
  • Step 2: Tap on “Find My”.
  • Step 3: Turn off “Share My Location”.

5. Stop Sharing Your Location from Find My App

You can also easily hide your location on your iPhone if you stop sharing your location on the Find My App. Here’s how to do it:

  • Step 1: Open the Find My app on your device. The app is already available on all devices running iOS 14.1 and later. You may have to download the app on your device if you are running an earlier version.
  • Step 2: Tap on “Me” at the bottom corner and then toggle the “Share My Location” switch to off.
  • Step 3: You may also need to do the same for all your friends. To do that, tap on the “People” tab and select a person from the list before tapping on “Don’t Share”.
