Hey Guys! Today, I’m going to be showing you guys “How To Change The Location of Your Android Phone Without VPN”. The method I’ll be teaching to you is actually the quickest and easiest way you can do this! I found this method by myself and I think it’ll be very helpful to everyone.
Now, why would you need to change the location of your Android device in the first place? Well, if you’re reading this article, you’re either a very big fan of the FaqonTech website and just read our posts for the fun of it or for future knowledge. But, if you’re here because you want to know how to do this, then you have a reason why you want to learn about this already.
Well, a lot of people need this, ranging from students all the way to big international companies. Now, imagine you’re a student and you need to get an application on the Google Playstore and you reside in South Africa but the application is only available for individuals that reside in the United Arab Emirates. Well, you’ll need to find a way to change the location of your device to the United Arab Emirates before you can get such an application from the Google Playstore.
Now, without wasting any more time, let’s get right on with how you can do this! But, I’ll be putting one little subheader before I head on with the main topic. Let’s go!
Why Is This Better Than Using a VPN?
Now, a lot of you probably asked yourself the question, why not just download a VPN from the Google Playstore to do this! Well, there are several reasons why this method is more reliable than some VPNs. Firstly, when you download some VPNs, they are very harmful to your device because they may contain bugs and may also steal information from your device.
Another is that most free VPNs don’t even have the power to hide your location from some websites or highly secure applications like the Google Playstore or Snapchat’s location map. You can only effectively do this when you pay for the premium version of some powerful VPNs like Hola or Nord VPN.
This method is also battery-saving. In the sense that VPNs tend to drain your battery life pretty quickly. But, when you’re using this, you do not have the disadvantage of quick battery life drainage.
Okay! Now that we’re done with that, let’s get on with the main topic for today – How To Change The Location of Your Android Phone Without VPN!
