What do other people see in WhatsApp?
People you send a live location to see the place Roam set, for as long as WhatsApp is sharing and Roam is providing that place. They see a live place, not a note that Roam chose it. A restart ends the simulated location.
You can stop a live location at any time under Stop sharing in the chat. If you don't want to share where you are, don't start a live location at all. Don't use a changed live location to mislead someone about where you are when they rely on it.
WhatsApp reads the location iOS gives it. Roam changes that location on the iPhone, with no jailbreak and no computer. A VPN does not do this job: a VPN changes the IP address, not the GPS. The comparison is Does a VPN change your iPhone location?
| What people see | After an iPhone restart | |
|---|---|---|
| While Roam is set | The place you chose in Roam. | The real location, until you set the place again. |
| What Roam does not claim | WhatsApp may still be able to tell a location is simulated. A restriction of an account is not something Roam can rule out. | |
How do you change the place WhatsApp shows?

- On the iPhone you'll use, open the passes and choose a day, a week, a month or a year.
- Continue in Safari. It reads your iPhone's UDID, then you pay. Your personal install link arrives by e-mail.
- Install Roam from that link. It is not on the App Store. When iOS asks, turn on Developer Mode in Settings › Privacy & Security › Developer Mode, then restart.
- Open Roam, search for a place or drop a pin, and tap Teleport.
Then open WhatsApp. It uses the iPhone location, so it shows the place Roam set. The wider guide is How to fake your location on iPhone. Developer Mode is How to turn on Developer Mode on iPhone. Passes are on the homepage.
