How do I change my iPhone's location without jailbreaking?
Install Pinshift on your Windows PC or Mac, plug in your iPhone and pick a place on the map. Pinshift uses the developer tools Apple gives app makers, so nothing on your iPhone is modified and no jailbreak is needed.
Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone?
No. Pinshift uses the developer tools Apple gives app makers. Your iPhone stays exactly as it is.
Which iPhones and iOS versions work?
Any iPhone on iOS 17.4 or later, including the newest iOS. On the computer you need Windows 10 or 11, or macOS 12 or later on an Intel or Apple silicon Mac.
Can I change my location without a computer?
Yes. After a one-time setup from your computer, the Pinshift iPhone app changes your location on its own, with a widget and Lock Screen controls.
How does the free trial work?
The first time you connect, you get 3 days with everything unlocked. No account, no card. After that Pinshift keeps working with the free limits.
Is my real location sent anywhere?
No. Locations stay between your computer and your iPhone. To check your plan, Pinshift sends only a scrambled device ID. See the privacy page.
I bought Pro. Now what?
Your key arrives by email. On the computer, click the badge next to the Pinshift name. On iPhone, open Settings → Plan. Paste the key and press Activate.
How do I go back to my real location?
Press Reset, or restart your iPhone. You can also set a timer so it goes back by itself.
My Mac says it can't open Pinshift.
Pinshift isn't in the Mac App Store, so the first time macOS asks you to confirm. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
How do I move Pro to a new device?
Open Pinshift on the old device, choose Remove Pro, then enter your key on the new one. Or remove it from your account page.
