What is UseAlibi?
UseAlibi is a Windows desktop app that changes the GPS location your iPhone reports — over a plain USB cable, with no jailbreak and nothing installed on the phone. People use it for social and dating apps, location-based games, privacy, and app development or QA testing.
Under the hood it talks to the developer location service Apple ships inside iOS, so the phone itself stays untouched. It supports iOS 17 through iOS 26 on Windows 10 and 11, and the location you set only applies while the phone is plugged in.
Install UseAlibi on Windows
Download the app and get it running on your PC.
Set up your iPhone
Plug in, tap Trust, enable Developer Mode — the app checks each step for you.
Place Mode
Pin a fixed spot anywhere in the world — by click, search, or coordinates.
Trip Mode
Drive multi-stop routes on real roads, with a live ETA and realistic speed.
How it works
iOS includes a location-simulation service intended for app developers. UseAlibi speaks to that service directly from your PC: you pick a point on the map, and the phone starts reporting it as its current position to every app. The location travels one way — from the app, down the cable, to the phone — and never touches a server.
Unplug the cable and the effect ends; your iPhone goes back to reporting its real location on its own.
