How to restore your real location on iPhone after using a virtual location
In VirtualLocation, click Restore Real Location. You can also restart the iPhone or iPad. Either method clears the virtual location, and Restore is always free. If an app that is already open still shows the old place, reopen it or wait for its next location update.
Restore with VirtualLocation
- Open VirtualLocation on your Mac.
- Select the connected iPhone or iPad.
- Click Restore Real Location.
To restore several devices, select them together and use Batch Restore. Single and batch Restore are both free; you do not need VIP.
Restore without the app
Restart the iPhone or iPad. Restarting also clears the virtual location.
If the old place still appears
An app that was already open may be showing a cached location. Reopen that app or wait for its next location update. This does not mean the virtual location is still active.
