How to Set Mock Location on Samsung Galaxy

Enable Developer Options, select FlashGo as the mock location app and keep it active on Samsung Galaxy phones with One UI.

On Samsung Galaxy phones, Build number is usually under Software information, while Developer options appears near the bottom of the main Settings screen after activation.

1. Enable Developer Options on Samsung

  • Open Settings → About phone → Software information.
  • Tap Build number seven times.
  • Enter the phone PIN, pattern or password if Samsung asks for it.
  • Return to the main Settings screen and open Developer options near the bottom.

2. Select FlashGo

  • Install and open FlashGo once.
  • In Developer options, find “Select mock location app.”
  • Choose FlashGo, then return to the app.
  • Start a single test point and verify it in a map you control.

3. Prevent the session from stopping

If a route stops after the screen turns off, review Settings → Apps → FlashGo → Battery and allow background activity while testing. Samsung may also place infrequently used apps into sleeping lists. Restore your usual battery preference when finished.

Restore the real location

  • Stop the active FlashGo session.
  • Open Developer options → Select mock location app → None.
  • Request a fresh position in a trusted map.
