Want to share another meeting point on Viber? Learn to move the map pin before sending, use FoneTool VirtualLocation for iPhone GPS changes, and control location access.

Do you want to send different meeting locations via Viber, or change the GPS location provided by your iPhone? These are separate tasks. Before sending the location information directly through Viber, you can move the pin. To provide a virtual device location, use an iPhone GPS changer. If privacy is more important to you, check out Viber’s location permissions.

Method 1: Apple Official Tools

Apple provides a range of official tools that can help you change your location on Viber seamlessly. By using these built-in features, you can alter your location without the need for any external applications.

Steps to change location on Viber using Apple Official Tools:

  1. Access your device's settings and go to the 'Privacy' settings.
  2. Select the 'Location Services' option and enable it if it's turned off.
  3. Scroll down and find the Viber app from the list of installed applications.
  4. Tap on Viber and select either 'Never' or 'While Using the App' under the location access options.
  5. Your location on Viber will now be changed accordingly.

Method 2: Change iPhone GPS Location with FoneTool VirtualLocation

For location information, the map pins displayed by the Viber app are usually sufficient. If you want to change the device coordinates available for location-based applications, FoneTool VirtualLocation provides a separate option through a Windows PC.

You can select a specific address before opening the Viber location screen, and then check the displayed pin. Check the preview before sending: This software will change the device’s GPS coordinates, but the response from Viber has not been independently verified yet.

Useful features:
  • Find the scheduled meeting area by using the address, instead of dragging around on the phone map repeatedly.
  • When the exact pickup location is more important than the name of nearby places, enter the coordinates.
  • Save frequently used destinations in a favorites list so that it’s easier to select the same location next time.
  • Check Viber to update your actual location, preparing applications that require your current real location.

Step 1. Install and open FoneTool VirtualLocation on Windows. Connect the unlocked iPhone using a USB data cable; if any prompts appear, click “Trust”.

Step 2. Prepare the device properly. In iOS 16 or later versions, enable Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode. Follow the instructions for restarting the phone, unlock it, and confirm “Turn on” is selected.

Step 3. Select the “Change Location” function, accept the disclaimer, and then click “Enter”. Search for an address or coordinate, select the result, or click a point on the map.

Step 4. Check the target location and click “Change Location”. Keep the PC connected and the iPhone unlocked while preparing the necessary components. After successful completion, click “OK”, then open the Viber location sharing screen to verify the map before sending any messages.

📝Note: This will change the device’s coordinates, not your Viber phone number or country. Other location-based applications can also use this simulated location.

  1. Download and install an Apple device emulator on your computer.
  2. Launch the emulator and set the desired location within its settings.
