GPS Spoofing Problems

If you use a location faking tool to fake the location to play a video game, for example, other apps on the device will also be able to access this fake location. For example, the game will show that you are in a fake location, when you open a navigation app like Maps, it will find you need to turn off the spoofing to get an accurate reading.

It also goes without saying that spoofing your location may keep you from accessing the information on your device based on location such as weather or traffic updates.
