4 Stop Sharing Your Location on Find My

5 Use Another iOS or iPadOS Device as Your Location

If you own multiple Apple devices, you can use them to trick those tracking you in iMessage into thinking you are somewhere when you are not.

It’s a great option if you want to go somewhere and want people to think you’re still at home.

How to use another iOS or iPadOS device as your location:

Now people who are tracking you by iMessage will only see the location of that device. Place it where you want people to think you are.

1 Can my location still be tracked if Location Services is off?

It’s still possible to track an iPhone with location services turned off but it would require resources that are usually reserved for law enforcement and other government agency.

Your iPhone still sends out a signal to cellular towers and network routers that can be tracked by those with the ability to do so.

2 Is iPhone location tracking accurate?

Location tracking accuracy is dependent on where you are. Large urban centers like cities will usually have better GPS accuracy than rural areas.

3 Can you fake your location on Find My iPhone?

The only ways to fake your location on Find My iPhone are to either jailbreak the device or use third-party utilities like iMyFone AnyTo. Jailbreaking can void the warranty of the device so it’s better to use third-party software to stop sharing location without notifying iMessage.

Being able to stop sharing location without notifying iMessage is an important way to keep your location safe and private when others are trying to keep tabs on where you are. You have a right to your privacy and hopefully the methods above will allow you to keep your location private.
