How can we help you?

Most often, this occurs because: (1) the tab was already open before spoofing was turned on (reload the tab), (2) Safari has a remembered "Denied" permission for that domain (tap aA ▸ Website Settings ▸ Location ▸ Allow), or (3) your VPN exit node differs from GeoCeptor's coordinates (e.g. IP in Chicago, GPS in Miami).

By default, iOS and macOS disable extensions in Private Browsing. To enable GeoCeptor in private tabs: Open iOS Settings ▸ Safari ▸ Extensions ▸ GeoCeptor ▸ toggle "Allow in Private Browsing" ON.

Regional sports broadcasts (MLB.TV, NBA League Pass, NFL Sunday Ticket, YouTube TV) verify physical GPS coordinates and JavaScript clock offsets in Safari. Set GeoCeptor and your VPN to an authorized out-of-market city. If you previously visited while logged in, clear browser cookies for that streaming domain.

Navigate to Tinder.com or Bumble.com in Safari. Open GeoCeptor and set your target city. When the dating web app asks for browser location, tap "Allow". GeoCeptor will feed your custom coordinates, enabling you to browse matches anywhere.

GeoCeptor intercepts both navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition and watchPosition. It returns fixed high-precision coordinates with custom accuracy (default 5.0m) and timestamp updates, ensuring the browser sees a stable, believable GPS fix without erratic jumping.

Some websites (like shopping or local delivery sites) store your previously entered zip code in localStorage or cookies. If a website still displays an old city, clear site data in Safari: Settings ▸ Safari ▸ Advanced ▸ Website Data ▸ search the site and tap Delete.

In macOS Sonoma/Sequoia and iOS 17+, Safari supports Profiles. Make sure GeoCeptor is enabled in each profile: open Safari Settings ▸ Profiles ▸ Extensions, and verify GeoCeptor is checked for your active profile.

Very aggressive third-party script blockers or fingerprint randomizers (like CanvasBlocker or strict user scripts) can occasionally intercept the same Geolocation APIs. Ensure GeoCeptor runs with standard Safari settings. Strict Tracking Prevention built into Safari works 100% harmoniously with GeoCeptor.

Ensure macOS Local Network access is granted in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Local Network ▸ GeoCeptor Companion. Ensure your iPhone is unlocked with the screen ON and you tapped "Trust This Computer". Verify you are using a data-capable USB cable (some braided cables are charge-only).

Developer Mode applies to iOS/iPadOS 16 or later. Apple intentionally hides the menu until an iPhone or iPad connects to a Mac or PC over a USB cable. Once plugged in and trusted, open Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ scroll to the bottom, and Developer Mode will appear. iOS/iPadOS 15 is supported through the legacy service and does not show this setting.

Apple Developer Mode and Developer Disk Images (DDIs) are free, standard capabilities of iOS and macOS. You do NOT need a paid Apple Developer subscription or custom provisioning profiles.

Because GeoCeptor Companion communicates with iOS at the device kernel/DDI level, every native application receives the simulated GPS coordinates for location QA and development.

Once paired and mounted, the simulated GPS coordinate remains active on your device. As long as your Mac and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot, Companion controls the location wirelessly. If you leave Wi-Fi range, the last set location persists until you reboot your iPhone or click "Reset Location".

To stop location simulation: Click "Reset Location" in GeoCeptor Companion on your Mac. Alternatively, simply restart your iPhone (Power Off ▸ Power On). Rebooting immediately clears simulated CoreLocation memory and restores real hardware GPS.

WebRTC allows audio/video streaming in browsers but can disclose your real LAN and ISP IP address even when connected to a VPN. GeoCeptor intercepts WebRTC ICE candidates inside Safari to guarantee your true IP is never leaked.

Modern tracking scripts force your browser to render hidden canvas shapes to generate a unique digital footprint based on your graphics card. GeoCeptor injects imperceptible micro-variations into canvas pixel data, rendering fingerprint profiling ineffective without breaking websites.

Even if your IP says New York, if your system clock is in Berlin (+01:00), websites calculate the difference and flag VPN usage. GeoCeptor intercepts Intl.DateTimeFormat and Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset so your browser clock perfectly matches your target GPS coordinates.
