Simulate Geolocation

All BrowserStack real devices have GPS enabled, and you can simulate GPS location to test your app in different locations.

To test your app by changing GPS-based location:

1. Log in to the App Live dashboard.
2. Upload or install your app, and select the device from the device listing, to launch your test session.
3. On the App Live vertical toolbar, click Change Location.
4. On the Change Location prompt, click the Device GPS tab.
5. Enter the location. You can enter the location in two ways:
   • Search the complete address.
   • Enter latitude and longitude in comma-separated format. For example, 12.971599, 77.594566.
     
   • Drag and drop the map pointer to the desired location on the map.
     After you enter the location, click the forward arrow within the location textbox. On the confirmation message, click Yes.

You see a message on the dashboard that the selected location is simulated on the device.

To test your app by simulating IP-based location changes:

2. Upload or install your app, and select the device from the device listing, to launch your test session.
3. On the App Live vertical toolbar, click Change Location.
4. On the Change Location prompt, click the IP Location tab.
5. Search or select the country/state. On the confirmation message, click Yes to confirm the IP location.

You see a message on the dashboard that the selected IP location is simulated on the device.
