Steve is correct that you can't do something even this simple on iOS.

And yet, it's extremely useful for anyone, even as nospam would say it's
  *not needed*   &    *not wanted*
Simply because Apple doesn't have the technical knowhow to implement it.

In fact, this native GPS location spoofing can be used whenever a program 
or web site "thinks" it needs your location - where I use it mostly because 
some programs require GPS location when they don't actually "need" it.

For example, graphical Wi-Fi & cellular debuggers "require" your GPS radio 
to be on, but you know where you are - so they don't actually "need" it.

But you have to give them your location - so - you spoof it. Here's how:
 1. Download a mock-location app
 2. Turn on Developer options
 3. Set the mock-location app
 4. Run the app

The mock-location app I use most is Lexa but there are many to choose from.
I chose Lexa as the Skyica App Finder lists it as the best rated, but other
apps will spoof Wi-Fi providers too, and other apps will move along a road, 
etc., which I found when I tested every Android fake-GPS app a while ago.

Good point that your IP address contains a geolocatable source location.

My perfect GPS spoofer would return the spoofed GPS location, which would
randomly snap to roads at a random set of paces (consistent with the road
speeds) at a given time frame with the altitude removed as most altitude
spoofing is done via a Google lookup (which kind of gives you away).

I'd also remove the nearby Wi-Fi access points, as they give you away too.

True, it is built into Surfshark (for Android only).

On an iPhone you can connect the phone to a computer and use iAnyGo, 
$89.95 for a lifetime license.

GPS spoofing can also be a safety thing for victims of abuse that have 
fled an abusive spouse and that want to prevent tracking.

There are much better solutions for that which are safer and cheaper.

Darn, I do subscribe to Surfshark, but it is not much use on my iPhone.

Bear in mind that the IP address is only one geolocatable entity that a
phone reports back to the site that is trying to locate your position.

IMHO, most Android phones are poorly set up such that they update your
(so-called) "precise location" to Google (via nearby Wi-Fi access points).

I'm not sure about iPhones though. Do they update your (so-called) "precise
location" (via local Wi-Fi access points) to Google & other servers?

Probably not since Apple does its equivalent of (so-called) "precise
location" differently. 

Differentially, Androids *upload* all the access points they can "see" to
online public Google/Mozilla/WiGle/etc., servers,. while iPhones *download*
that public access-point information. 

The question is *where* does Apple get that public AP information from?

Only, if that "abusive spouse" knows how to do the tracking. Without
permission no one can just track others people phones. And if the
"abusive spouse" works at a telecommunication provider he may have the
location without any GPS at all, since the mobile network base stations
always know what devices are near them.

Rest assured, living in the boonies myself, I do all my well pump and
septic work, I take care of my own pool, I cut down trees to burn for
firewood myself, I trench for my (off-grid) guerrilla solar setup, I do my
own electrical work, and plumbing repairs, I refill my carbon dioxide
sodastream canisters at home, I refill my one pound propane tanks from my
20 pounders which themselves are filled from my thousand-gallon propane
tank, I refill the vehicles with gasoline myself at home, my cars are 30
years old and I do all the maintenance & repairs, including changing the
tires when they're worn and balancing them at home, etc.

But my point was that the fact you "can" be tracked is more important than
if the person who wants to track you "knows how" to do it - since they can
always hire someone to do that dirty work for them.

Never seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie? :)

If someone is going to track a spouse, I doubt they care if it's legal or
not, but I even doubt whether or not it's illegal if no court order is
involved. I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. Neither are you I presume.

I suspect it's perfectly legal to "track a spouse" as long as you don't
break a law (e.g., violating a court order) in doing so.

But you're missing the point completely. 

The privacy hole is that you "can" be tracked. Not that you "are" tracked,
since you will likely never know if you're actually being tracked.

You probably don't know anything about military theory but it's a classic
premise that you guard against what they "can" do; not what you think
they'll do.

Being an historian at heart, I've seen numerous times in history from the
dawn of antiquity that countries floundered who "thought" the enemy
couldn't get them and the enemy, instead, did what they "could" do - not
what they thought they would do.

Take, for example, the reason the Bull Thistle is the official flower for
Ireland, or the reason Hannibal lost an eye in Italy but defeated Scipio.

You guard against what they "can" do; not what you "think" they will do.
        And they can track you (if you don't guard against it).

When my kids went to college, admittedly a long time ago, I added Specter
tracking software to their computers so I would know if they were in
trouble, but I never used it so I didn't bother when they had grandkids.

It's so easy to add a keylogger to any computing device, it's not funny.
Anyone with physical access can do anything to most computers.

That's why you guard against what people "can" do; not what you think they
will do. It's a basic self defense strategy since the dawn of time.

I'm glad you're in a jovial mood as this thread got a bit tedious.

The only "services" we get in the boonies come on the telephone poles.
That's electricity. And phone. Not even cable is here yet. Some day.
(That's why we all have our own antennas - we get Wi-Fi from miles away.)

Just like nobody understands gravity because they've been lied to their
entire lives about what it is, nobody understands pool chemistry either.

If you care, gravity isn't a force. It's the curvature of spacetime inward
rushing at 11km/sec due to mass:energy of the earth - and that inward force
is pressing against the electrostatic outward forces of earth's
electrostatic mass pushing outward at 9.8m/s/s (which is why the earth is
shaped like a ball since those two forces equal out). 

Except tidal forces. They're actually real forces. Go figure.

Anyway, gravity is the earth is expanding outward at 9.8m/s/s and spacetime
is rushing inward at 11km/sec which makes us "feel" like there's a force.

Who knew. Most people don't. Most people are incredibly stupid.

When you truly understand something - it's *never* what people intuit.
Likewise with pool chemistry.

It's too hard to describe but there are only two things that matter with
respect to pool chemistry, one of which is disinfection & the other is
saturation, but with those two things are more than a half-dozen "other
things" that determine if the water is aggressive or scaling and whether or
not you can hold chlorine and how much you need - and any of hundreds of
thousands of permutations & combinations will be acceptable - but what
happens is pool stores and web sites alike pick one or two of those things
and say "that" is what you need to fix - which is why almost nobody
understands pool chemistry. Those half dozen things are here:
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elitecrest.orenda>
 <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/orenda/id1171005221>

By the way, that's the best pool-chemistry app on the planet, bar none.

Well, in my defense, most of them fell down already, and I'm just bucking
them, but some are the California Bay tree, which is a weed out here, and
others are the various California Oaks that get sudden Oak death disease,
and others still are the Monterey Pine trees that die from the bark beetle.

With all that stuff killing trees, we have plenty of wood to buck.

Nuclear? Ouch. I love nukes but California is into wind and solar.

We are filthy rich in sunlight. Not so rich in Uranium. NY/NJ has the best
uranium in the country, I'm told (anywhere they have radon problems usually
has good uranium ore). Gotta' love the Laurentian Shield for radioactive
ores.

Electrical work and plumbing is easy. The only problem is plumbing takes
bending and crawling. Like when you have to snake the septic system. Yuck.

It's easy. You buy 10 pounds of dry ice and you pop off the valve of a
10-pound carbon dioxide tank and fill it up and cap it before it sublimes.

Then you leave it outside because it's gonna get frosty and stick to
anything it's touching. Let it warm up outside for a day and now you have
10 pounds of carbon dioxide gas at about 800 psi.

Then flip it upside down and fill up the 1 pound (actually 14 ounces)
sodastream with the liquid carbon dioxide. Easy peasy. Cheap too.

The propane is the same process but you can't flip your 1000 gallon tank so
you let gravity do it for you. But you do flip the 20 pound tank to fill
the 1 pound propane tanks with liquid propane. Same as carbon dioxide.

Easy peasy.

My cars are three decades old but they're all repaired by me so I know
their history as I got them new. Gas I get at Costco in 50 gallon
increments and then I fill up the car with my own gas pump at home.
 <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLDKHL7B>

Or I siphon if I'm lazy. I put the can on top of the car for height.
You don't worry about scratching the paint on a 30-year old vehicle.

Spouses for some reason are the bogeyman in this thread. Not sure why.
I'm not too worried about my spouse. It's my kids I'm worried about. :)

Luckily we each have only one spouse (at most) to worry about, right?
And we all know where she is 'cuz we've been tracking her for years. :)

I don't know - as I'm not a lawyer - but I don't think so. I think it's
fine to track anyone you want as long as you use legal means to do so.

Unless there's a court order or a trespassing decree. Did you know that
California has trespassing laws that start from infraction and go to
felony? That's as complicated as the California curb-color laws.

Yellow. White. Green. Blue. Red. Do they really need 5 different colors?
