Snapchat: location faking - protect your privacy

Snapchat is a great way to easily share your experiences. However, Snapchat tags your pictures with a location sticker. If you don't want to reveal this information, you have the option to fake your location. Here's how to protect your privacy.

How to fake your location on Snapchat

To trick Snapchat, you need to download and install the "Fake GPS Locator" app. After that, proceed as follows:

1. Open the settings of your smartphone and activate the developer options there. To do this, you need to tap the "Developer Options" item and then select "Select app for simulated location". In the menu, you need to tap the app.
2. Followed by this, activate your GPS so that the app can work reliably.
3. In the app itself, you must now select the desired location on the map. Press the green button at the end of the screen so that the location is activated.
4. Open Snapchat and select a photo that you want to post.
5. It now opens the city filter that you have set through the app. Confirm the selection and post the picture on Snapchat.

Beware: with an app like "Fake GPS Locator" you are not only fooling Snapchat, but this kind of app also works across systems. Damit das nicht zum Problem wird, sollten Sie die App nach der Benutzung ausschalten. Sonst können Sie Probleme mit der Nutzung von Diensten wie Google Maps bekommen.
