Yes, but there are idiot apps like WeChat that now ban you arbitrarily if they think you're interfering. I got banned once for running Xposed plugins on WeChat. It would be nicer if no software on the phone had any way of telling that it is being spoofed, and instead spoof the actual radio waves.
Or maybe I should just desolder the GPS chip, if I can figure out which one it is.
If you are concerned about privacy, it may not be in your best interests to install WeChat or any other app developed by companies under the jurisdiction of a State without a strong legal and enforcement framework dedicated to the protection of your rights.
I don't want to bring the State into this. Yes there are censorship issues. But Tencent does a LOT of horrible things with WeChat that are not even required by the state. I'm talking Apple-level horrible.
Also, I don't actually have an option if I want to maintain my social life.
Tencent does some horrible things with software beyond the laws of China. Apple does too -- that's why I don't use an iPhone as my normal phone. But I have to use an iPhone for certain test apps and I'd like to be able to spoof GPS for Apple and Tencent at the same time.
I'm much more concerned about these companies invading my privacy than the US or China government.
Or maybe I should just desolder the GPS chip, if I can figure out which one it is.
