Geolocation Simulation for Real Device Testing

Overview

Simulating device location lets teams test location aware app behavior without physically changing locations. By mocking GPS coordinates, testers can quickly validate location based features, uncover region specific issues, and ensure a consistent user experience across global markets. This is ideal for apps using maps, navigation, geofencing, localized content, or regional compliance rules. Pcloudy enables instant simulation of any latitude and longitude on real devices, helping teams verify feature accuracy, performance, and responsiveness in a controlled and repeatable testing environment.

Prerequisites

• User must be registered Pcloudy account

Steps

1. Login to the Pcloudy platform

2. Select Function Experience on the left Panel and Click on Real Devices.

3. Simply select any device of your choice and click on Start Testing.

4. Click on the Change Location tab to open the Location Simulation dialog box.

5. Either enter the Lat and Long values in the given space or use the location pin on the map to select a place and automatically populate the Lat & Long values.

6. Once the user is fine with the place of the pin, Click on Set.

7. The user will receive a success notification, and the device will start showing the performance of the app or website in that specific location.
