Lizard insurance app mandates you give location permission, refusing access to the rest of the app otherwise. I have 0 intention of giving them this but so far have failed to find a phone number to call them (their mobile website tells me to use the app).

Until I find a different company run by living, real people, my current intention is to use the app to manage my insurance in the meantime. I don’t want to give them my location, even if it’s only while using the app, so how do I get the app to think it has my location when it actually doesn’t?

inb4 just use a computer: nah. It’s about spite at this point.

    last time i had to do this; i got around it by using another app that provided fake gps coordinates of your choice.

      for this you have to be sure that just the GPS location is being used and not Google, which can have the location from nearby wifi/Bluetooth devices
