what's going on YouTube GS right here so
0:02
in today's video I'm going to show you
0:03
how to change the location on your
0:05
device using a program called IO
0:07
directly from the phone now this is
0:09
available on the website io.com there's
0:12
a free trial available for both Windows
0:14
and Mac OS but right now they also have
0:16
an iOS application we're going to get
0:18
into that in a second so this
0:20
essentially allows you to change the GPS
0:21
location of your phone for any
0:23
application that requires Maps support
0:25
GPS support and essentially you can
0:27
change it to anywhere in the world that
0:29
way application or game will believe you
0:31
really are in that location this is
0:33
useful for games like Pokémon go which
0:35
is displayed over here because you can
0:37
literally stay on your couch but you're
0:39
still playing the game you're still
0:40
moving on the map and you can move on
0:42
the map on places you can't normally be
0:44
so this is one of the uh reasons you
0:46
would want to use this other reasons are
0:48
privacy you can change the location on
0:50
social media dating apps and stuff like
0:52
that you can check the program out in
0:53
the link below as I said a free trial is
0:55
available it supports iOS 17 but we're
0:58
going to check out the iOS version
1:00
instead of the computer version today so
1:02
I have the phone connected over here and
1:04
I do have IO it's installed over here
1:07
and this is how the application looks
1:08
like now once you install it it shows
1:10
the map your current location and here
1:12
inside the application you have all the
1:14
settings necessary but before you go
1:16
through these settings you're going to
1:17
have to do something in the computer
1:19
application it does require the computer
1:21
at least one time in order to activate
1:23
the toolbox that is required that
1:25
provides the files the application
1:27
requires in order to do the change on
1:29
the GPS data so to do that you just have
1:31
to navigate here to the computer get
1:33
ther share iigo either for Windows or
1:35
for Mac OS both of them would work and
1:38
what's important is that for the toolbox
1:40
to work you don't need to have the
1:42
premium version you will be able to
1:43
install the toolbox to your phone
1:45
without having the activation for tenner
1:47
share iigo on the computer you just need
1:49
to have the activation for your phone so
1:51
you don't need two licenses for this you
1:52
just need your phone license once you
1:54
have the computer version as you can see
1:56
I have it over here it's not activated
1:58
because I have the key icon over there
1:59
to register it you're going to have to
2:01
open it connect the phone and just press
2:03
the toolbox icon over there and press
2:05
install resource that's exactly what you
2:07
need to do with the device connected of
2:09
course and that will install the
2:11
necessary resources I do have them
2:13
already which means that now I can
2:14
change the location directly on the
2:16
phone but once you do that you will be
2:17
able to switch locations directly from
2:20
the application without ever connecting
2:21
to a computer again previously this kind
2:23
of applications required to be connected
2:25
to a computer in order to change the
2:27
location now you only have to be
2:28
connected once to get the resources and
2:31
then you are able to do so from the app
2:32
basically forever so let's change the
2:34
location then I'm going to go ahead and
2:35
change the location to someplace else
2:37
you can either use the map over here or
2:39
you can search a destination but I'm
2:41
going to use the map let's change it to
2:43
somewhere in Canada I'm going to go to
2:46
let's say Regina over here and then
2:48
press this little blue icon over here
2:50
with the pin on the map and it says one
2:52
click configuration I'm going to press
2:54
it and press start and that would be it
2:56
in a couple of seconds it will change
2:57
the location and every single
2:59
application that uses GPS data will
3:02
actually believe you are in origina
3:04
Canada now you have a timer here at the
3:06
top and uh it says here that if you
3:07
modify your location in Pokémon go
3:09
recommend avoiding critical actions
3:11
until the countdown ends so if you're
3:13
going to do any sort of critical action
3:15
whatever that means in the game you're
3:17
going to have to wait for that timer to
3:18
end because otherwise you risk getting
3:21
banned or you risk your account getting
3:22
flagged and stuff so if you switch the
3:24
location fast you just have that timer
3:26
over there which is recommended for you
3:27
to wait until it finishes anyway if you
3:30
want to actually use a different
3:31
approach you can go from a location to
3:33
another and you can set up the speed for
3:35
example I'm going to go ahead and set up
3:36
the speed over here and it's going to
3:38
show you the details about your current
3:39
speed and stuff so I'm going to go with
3:41
the third button over here and I can
3:43
press another icon and another part in
3:46
another part of the map and this will
3:47
create a path and I'm going to press
3:48
start moving and it will start moving
3:50
towards that direction and it will
3:52
follow the path that I have created over
3:54
here now the speed that you have
3:56
predefined in here tells the application
3:58
what you want whether it would be to
4:00
simulate walking or to simulate going by
4:02
bike or even by car now you know better
4:04
for your application use case what is
4:07
required but at this point this
4:09
application makes your device believe
4:11
it's actually moving and if you go ahead
4:13
on the maps I'm going to go here on
4:15
Apple Maps and I'm going to press the
4:16
button to show me my current location
4:19
you can see that it now shows that I am
4:21
indeed moving and I am moving toward
4:24
that New Path and I am in Regina Canada
4:26
as you can see over here and yes it does
4:28
register the fact that you moving so at
4:30
this point you can just go ahead in the
4:32
application change your path switch
4:34
anything in here you can even star
4:36
locations if you want to save them for
4:38
later on the choose map menu you have
4:41
either streets or dark or light outdoors
4:44
and even satellite and satellite with
4:46
streets which is pretty neat if you want
4:48
a better degree of accuracy on your map
4:50
so I'm going to go ahead in here and
4:52
show you exactly where we are you can
4:53
see down to every single street so
4:56
that's how you do it if you want to
4:57
pause it you press pause over here and
4:59
if you want to stop it entirely you
5:00
press the stop button and yes and that's
5:03
it that's essentially it that's how you
5:04
use this it's actually quite interesting
5:07
it's a pretty neat application you can
5:08
jump to a specific location by pressing
5:11
this button and it jumps instantly so
5:13
you should definitely bear in mind the
5:15
cool down though cuz games like this one
5:18
can definitely get you banned if you do
5:20
sudden moves like this or if you are in
5:23
one place in a second and then the next
5:25
second you're halfway across the world
5:27
it could be detected and you could risk
5:29
your account so you either try this on a
5:31
secondary account or you just wait for
5:33
the uh timer in here to cool down before
5:36
you do any critical actions after you
5:38
change your location that's for the
5:39
safety of your account timer can be
5:41
disabled but I do not recommend it
5:43
except that's how you change your
5:44
location for any application that
5:46
requires GPS data with I go definitely
5:48
check the program out in the link below
5:50
now it doesn't require a computer at
5:52
least not after you install the
5:54
resources so it's much easier to use
5:55
directly from the phone thank you for
5:57
watching I'm GS now till the next time
