How to Fake GPS on Telegram?

Telegram is an open-source messaging platform that allows users to video-call, text, share images, and so much more with friends. It is a global app that enables communication with people from all over world. While Telegram is one of the most private apps, with the location sharing feature, it is possible for someone to identify your location on Telegram. When the location sharing action is not voluntary, or when you want to play some little tricks with your friends, or for some other reasons, you might want to fake GPS on Telegram. Here let's check the methods.

Part 1. The Location Feature on Telegram

The Telegram location feature is not on a map tab, nor is it on a button. Instead, the location is shared within a chat thread. It allows you to share your location with contacts and friends. Likewise, you can see the locations of others as well if you have been selected to share the location information. Similar to other Telegram services, the Telegram location feature allows you to place limits on the time span within which you can share a location, with the maximum limit being eight hours.

1. Can Someone Track You in Telegram?

Yes, someone can track you in Telegram.

Telegram is one of the safest messaging apps that has encrypted conversations like WhatsApp. The main purpose of the app is to ensure safety with little or no security breaches. Within the App, there are privacy laws that you must adhere to. Additionally, Telegram has a feature that allows users to delete messages completely after a certain period.

However, the location services of Telegram make it possible if someone intends to track you, especially through the People Nearby feature. This feature allows users to track the location of others if they all have enabled this function.

Out of privacy concern, or the aim to play a prank on your friends, you may want to fake GPS on Telegram. As is shown in the section above, although you can set your location casually to anywhere you want when you send other users a static location, your real location and movement will be exposed when you share your live location with them. In this case, if you still want to fake GPS on Telegram, a third-party tool is quite necessary.
