paranoia?

you could have a driving app which triangulates using cell towers.
Hmm. So
now your telco doesn¹t know where you are because they can see your GPS location, but they do know where you are because you¹re using their cell towers. Hmm. Oh, wait.. if yoyr phone is on, it¹s connecting to the cell towers anyway, so they know where you are. And you can¹t spoof that¹s
it¹s their towers, they know exactly where their towers are, and simple trigonometry tells them exactly where you are. The only way to stop this would be to turn the phone off, and even that might not work. So turn it off and leave it at home, which renders any GPS spoofing moot.

nope
the telco will know where the phone is to within a few metres using trig.
It¹s trival to do and impossible to spoof.

Adults comprehend facts...
It's no longer shocking to me that you iKooks think the only way to do anything is the way Apple has prescribed for you in the prison documents. <https://i.postimg.cc/ZKXjT326/mocklocation01.jpg> Android mock location <https://i.postimg.cc/SRvdYzsF/mocklocation02.jpg> Best mock location apps <https://i.postimg.cc/DySBk5j2/mocklocation03.jpg> Mock location setting <https://i.postimg.cc/7L8BN7Nq/mocklocation04.jpg> Spoof wifi/gps provider <https://i.postimg.cc/MZPdFgYP/mocklocation05.jpg> Randomize road speed
The reason I brought up "driving" was because nospam's standard clusterfuck response is to claim you have to put a Mac in your pocket, along with the iPhone, in order to garner any semblance of basic functionality on Android.
But even so, there are _good_ reasons for mock location even while driving, particularly in terms of privacy, some of which are related to how easily mock location apps enable off-line navigation apps to determine endpoints.
This is particularly useful because many offline navigation apps lack the user-focused GUI to choose a location, and worse, many offline nav apps
lack the lookup capability of the big boys' apps (e.g., Apple/Google).
Another good reason for mock location while out and about is that it
ensures any app that gathers up your location will get incorrect data.
Essentially, I keep mock location on all the time when my data is on, _unless_ I actually need both GPS and data simultaneously, which is almost never since you can navigate & obtain trafffic perfectly well without data.
Note: I'm well aware iKooks don't own the cognitive skills to comprehend a word of what I said above - but I said it to respond to nospam's claims.

gps does not use a data connection, even if spoofed.
There are varying levels of location reporting, one of which is where you
are on the 2D X:Y ground coordinates (at any altitude), the other of which
is using your 3D X:Y:Z coordinates (e.g., you could be in an airplane).
I well realize the iKooks don't understand the concept of mock location spoofing, so I'll patiently explain to them that when you're spoofing your location, the mock location apps have a checkmark for whether or not you
want the altitude also reported (which requires data lookups, according to the apps themselves).

nope
Why do fools deny facts?
I don't know why.
But nospam does.

Anyway, the question here is to answer what nospam forgot to provide when
he repeatedly claimed that iOS wasn't crippled in terms of mock location.
Please help nospam out.
I'll even drop the free and ad-free requirement.

Android is such a clusterfuck and joke.
It makes the newsgroup much more readable when you filter out the actual trolls.
Again, I posted the original thread only to comp.mobile.android
specifically because I saw no upside in encouraging "those who must not
be named" in misc.phone.mobile.iphone from getting upset that they are
unable to have such a useful feature. Someone else cross-posted it.
There is a kludgy workaround for mock locations for iOS that requires a computer as well, see <https://www.tenorshare.com/products/ianygo-change-gps-location-iphone.html>
Up until iOS 14 there was a jailbreak tweak to set a mock location but
it doesn't work in iOS 15 (see <https://www.wootechy.com/change-location/cydia-fake-gps/>)
Note that there are also things that you can do on iOS that aren't
possible on Android devices, it works both ways, so there's no need for anyone to get upset and start trolling when something is not possible on their device.
You can't run Garage Band on an Android device and you
can't use Apple News on Android or Windows.
See the 100% fact checked document at <https://tinyurl.com/iOS-Android-Features>. It's 81 pages of extensively referenced information with hundreds of citations that details iOS &
iPhone features which [many] Android users wish they had and Android & Android Phone features which [many] iOS users wish they had.
I have two
iPhones, one iPad, and one Apple Watch, as well as one flagship Android device, one mid-range Android tablet, and one Samsung Gear watch, and
am pretty familiar with the capabilities of both operating systems.
