For many players, Pokémon Go quickly becomes limited by real-world location, especially if you live in an area with few Pokémon or gyms. Fly GPS is an application that allows you to simulate your GPS location on iPhone, offering the possibility to catch Pokémon in other cities or countries without moving. However, using it on iOS requires caution and method to avoid any issues with the game.
What is Fly GPS and how does it work?
Fly GPS is an application that temporarily changes the GPS location of your iPhone. Specifically, your phone thinks it is in another place, which allows Pokémon Go to generate Pokémon and gyms as if you were actually there.
On iOS, Fly GPS is not directly available on the App Store for security and Apple policy reasons. Installation therefore requires:
- A download from a reliable third-party site or via a Cydia-type tweak for jailbroken devices.
- Authorization to install apps outside the App Store via a specific certificate or profile.
It is essential to verify the source and authenticity of the application, as pirated or malicious versions can damage your device or compromise your data.
Installing Fly GPS on iPhone
Installation varies depending on whether your iPhone is jailbroken or not:
- Without jailbreak: some services offer installation via a signed profile that allows temporary use of Fly GPS. These profiles must be renewed periodically.
- With jailbreak: installation becomes easier with specific tweaks that allow the application to run and modify the location without limitation.
After installation, you need to activate the simulated location services in Fly GPS and choose the desired position.
Setting up Pokémon Go with Fly GPS
Once Fly GPS is installed, you need to link the application to Pokémon Go so that the game recognizes the modified position:
- Launch Fly GPS and select the location where you want to appear.
- Activate location simulation.
- Open Pokémon Go, which will now display the simulated position.
To avoid alerts from Niantic, it is advisable to move gradually on the virtual map, rather than “teleporting” the player over long distances. Rapid and unrealistic changes can trigger restrictions or a temporary ban.

Precautions and limits
Fly GPS offers interesting possibilities, but it carries significant risks:
- Niantic monitors suspicious behavior, and using simulated GPS can lead to account restrictions, including temporary or permanent bans.
- iOS or Pokémon Go updates may block certain versions of Fly GPS, rendering the application unusable.
- Non-jailbroken devices are limited in the duration of simulated location use via profiles.
It is therefore important to not abuse the technique, simulate realistic movements, and maintain moderate use to avoid sanctions.
