Want control over Snap Map? AnyTo, a fake GPS location app for Snapchat, lets you spoof Snapchat location in one tap. No jailbreak/root, no computer needed.
Snapchat’s Snap Map lets friends see where you are in real time. Helpful, sure. But sometimes it feels like a digital ankle monitor. If you want to dodge awkward drop-ins, or plan, knowing how to fake location on Snapchat matters.
The good news? You don’t need to vanish completely. In this guide, I’ll show you how to spoof your Snapchat location without raising eyebrows or setting off suspicion.
Quick Navigation
How Does Snapchat Location Work?
Snapchat uses Snap Map to show your location. It pulls data directly from your phone’s GPS and updates your Bitmoji on the map when you open the app.
You can choose to share your live location all the time, only while using Snapchat, or with specific friends.
Snapchat also uses location data for map-based filters, stickers, and some AI recommendations.
In short, if your GPS moves and Snapchat is open, your location moves too.
Can You Fake Your Location on Snapchat?
Yes, you can, and it's as easy as pausing your location on Snapchat.
Snap map works by reading the GPS coordinates your phone reports. So, if you use a GPS location changer to alter those coordinates, Snapchat’s Snap Map will show the fake location as if you’re really there.
What doesn’t work? VPNs.
A normal VPN only changes your IP address, which affects your internet location, not your GPS location, unless it has built-in GPS spoofing feature.
Snapchat ignores IP-based location data for Snap Map, so turning on a VPN won’t move your Bitmoji an inch.
How to Fake a Location on Snapchat the Easiest Way
If you want your Snap Map location to change smoothly and stay put or follow a route, a GPS spoofer is the easiest and cleanest solution.
iMyFone AnyTo is a location changer for both iOS and Android that modifies your phone’s GPS data at the system level. No tricks. No half-working hacks.

How to Hide Location on Snapchat
If you just want to disappear from Snap Map without faking a new location, Snapchat makes it simple.
- Open Snap Map.
- Tap the ⚙️ Settings icon in the top-right corner.
- Turn on Ghost Mode.
- Choose “Until Turned Off” for permanent privacy or a temporary duration if needed.
Your Bitmoji disappears from the map entirely. Friends won’t see your location, and you can still use Snapchat normally.
FAQs about Snapchat Spoof Location
How do you turn off location on Snapchat?
Open Snap Map, tap the ⚙️ Settings icon, and enable Ghost Mode. You can also go to Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Snapchat and set it to Never to fully disable location tracking.
How do you add a location on Snapchat?
Use location stickers in your Snaps. When creating a Snap, tap the sticker icon and choose Location to add a tag without affecting your Snap Map position.
Why is Snapchat showing the wrong location?
This can happen if your GPS is inaccurate, your device hasn’t updated, or you’re using a VPN (which doesn’t affect GPS). Low battery or app background restrictions can also interfere.
How accurate is Snapchat location?
Snapchat location relies on your device’s GPS, so it’s usually precise to a few meters. However, indoor locations, poor GPS signal, or spoofing tools can cause discrepancies.
Can you fake live location on Snapchat Map?
Yes. By using a GPS spoofer like iMyFone AnyTo, you can feed Snapchat a fake location in real time. Your Bitmoji will move according to the spoofed coordinates rather than your actual location.
Final Thought
Snap Map is convenient but sometimes too revealing. Whether you want to hide or fake your location on Snapchat, there are simple, safe ways to take back control.
Tools like iMyFone AnyTo let you spoof your Snapchat location reliably, while Snapchat’s built-in Ghost Mode gives immediate invisibility.
Privacy isn’t about secrecy—it’s about choice. With these methods, you can stay on your terms without anyone knowing.
