GeoCeptor has two location modes: Safari spoofing works directly in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac without cables or the Mac Companion, while System GPS uses the GeoCeptor Companion for Mac to simulate your iPhone's location across apps. Use System GPS for privacy, browsing, and development, control GPX routes, and follow live spoofing status from your iPhone. GeoCeptor's Safari layer changes location and browser privacy signals on websites. Key Features: - System GPS (Beta): Simulate your iPhone's location across location-aware apps using the Mac Companion. - Mac Companion Setup: Pair your iPhone with a Mac once over USB, then control system-wide location spoofing from GeoCeptor. - GPX Route Playback: Import GPX routes, choose a playback speed, and pause or resume simulated journeys. - Live Route Status: Monitor system spoofing and GPX playback with Live Activities and Dynamic Island controls. - Custom Location Selection: Choose any location from a global map. - Safari Location Spoofing: Make websites see your chosen location instead of your real one. - Timezone Spoofing: Choose any timezone to use in Safari. - User-Agent Spoofing: Change your user agent directly in Safari. - Locale Spoofing: Change your browser language and region settings. - WebRTC Leak Protection & Canvas Fingerprinting Defense. - Hardware Cloak: Prevent websites from learning your device model and hardware details. - Spoof and Override Filters: Use allowlists or denylists and set different locations for specific websites. - Developer Ready: Test apps, websites, and location-aware experiences from different places around the world. Note: System GPS is a beta feature that requires the free GeoCeptor Companion for Mac, a Mac, and a one-time USB pairing; on iOS/iPadOS 16 or later, Developer Mode is required. System GPS affects location-aware apps on your iPhone, while Safari spoofing affects websites only. GeoCeptor is not a VPN and does not change your IP address. Changing the reported location does not bypass server-side checks such as IP address, payment methods, or account history. Use location simulation only where permitted by applicable terms and laws; some websites and apps may prohibit it, especially streaming, financial, and e-commerce services.
