How to Change Location on Tablet

Do you want the same streaming experience on your tablet as your mobile phone or Smart TV? Tablets are great for streaming, gaming, and using apps, but location restrictions can get in the way. The good news is you can change your tablet's location easily.

This blog will explain why you might want to change it, how to do it, and the best way to stay private while accessing multiple channels.

3 Quick Methods to Change Location on a Tablet

1. Use a VPN (Recommended Method)

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is the best way to change your location securely. It hides your real IP address and routes your internet traffic through a server located in a place of your choice.

1. Subscribe to PureVPN.
2. Download and install PureVPN from the App Store or Play Store.
3. Sign in to your VPN app.
4. Connect to a server location (USA, UK, Singapore).
5. Once connected, your internet traffic is routed through that server, changing your location for browsing, apps, and services.

Why Choose a VPN?

• Your data is encrypted, keeping it safe from hackers.
• You can choose from many different countries.
• Most apps will think you are in the location of the server.
• Set up and use with minimal effort.

2. Manually Change Location Settings

If you prefer not to use a VPN, you can adjust your tablet’s location settings manually. However, this method won’t change your IP address, so some apps may still detect your real location.

Android Tablets:

1. Open the Settings app on your tablet.
2. Go to Location and either turn off location services entirely or modify which apps can access your location.
3. To simulate a different location, you can enable Developer Options. Here’s how:

• Go to Settings > About Tablet and tap Build Number several times until you see the Developer mode enabled message.
• In Developer Options, you can select a mock location app that lets you simulate a different location.

iOS Tablets:

1. Open Settings on your iPad.
2. Tap Privacy > Location Services.
3. Here, you can choose which apps can access your location or turn off location services altogether.
4. Download a GPS spoofing app from the App Store (like iSpoofer). You will need to follow additional setup instructions to make the app work properly.

Limitations of Changing Location Manually:

• Your actual location may still be detected by websites and apps that rely on your IP address.
• Your data remains unencrypted, which could make it vulnerable to hackers.

3. Try GPS Spoofing Apps

GPS spoofing apps allow you to trick your tablet’s GPS into thinking it’s in a different location. This method is useful if you need to change your location in a specific app that relies on GPS.

1. Find a GPS spoofing app in the app store, such as Fake GPS Location for Android or iSpoofer for iOS.
2. If you’re using an Android tablet, enable Developer Options in the Settings > About Tablet section by tapping the Build Number multiple times.
3. After downloading the app, open Developer Options and set the GPS spoofing app as the default mock location provider.
4. Open the GPS spoofing app and select a location where you want your tablet to appear. Your tablet’s GPS will now report this new location.

What are the Risks and Drawbacks of GPS Spoofing?

• Many apps prohibit location spoofing, and using a GPS spoofing app could result in account bans.
• GPS spoofing does not change your IP address, so apps with advanced tracking might still detect your real location.

A VPN is the safest and offers more location options, while manual settings and GPS apps are less secure and may not fully hide your location.

Why Change Your Location on a Tablet?

1. Privacy & Security

If you're concerned about privacy or don't want apps and websites tracking your real location, changing it can help protect your privacy.

2. Accessing Region-Specific Content

Some services or apps offer different content depending on where you are. By changing your location, you can unlock content or services that are only available in certain regions.

3. Testing & Development

For developers or testers, adjusting your location is a great way to see how apps or websites behave in different areas.

4. Bypassing Geo-Restrictions

If certain apps, games, or services are restricted based on your location, changing it can help you bypass those restrictions and access what you need.

5. Traveling Convenience

When you're traveling, changing your location can help you get more accurate recommendations, weather updates, or time zone adjustments.

What are the Risks of Changing Location Without a VPN?

If you attempt to change your location using methods other than a VPN, you may encounter these risks:

Methods like GPS spoofing or manual changes might not work for certain apps or websites with advanced tracking systems.

Apps and websites can still track your activity using your real IP address.

Some apps may detect spoofed locations and suspend your account.
