Can I move my map pin to Tokyo from my bed?
Locaflex is a location switcher for your phone. Back comes one city on your system and on your friends' map, with its local time.
"Apps that can show your location on the screen, including Maps, show your current location using a blue marker."

How it works, in five cards
What does Locaflex actually change?
The location your phone itself reports. Your apps read that one place, so your system and your friends' map land on the same city instead of two different ones.
Do I have to jailbreak or root my phone?
No. You tap one button, the page reads your phone and confirms it is ready before anything moves.
Which cities can I pick?
One of 41, from Dubai to Tokyo, with Miami and Monaco on the list. The local time of the city shows as soon as you pick it.
Will it run on my phone, in my language?
It runs on iPhone and on Android, and the screens come in eleven languages.
And the last step?
One quick check turns on system location. From then on, your friends' map shows you in the city you picked.
When to leave it off
When should I leave it off?
Do not use it if
- someone counts on your real position for your safety, such as family who follow you on the map.
- you need directions or a ride to find you where you really are while the new city is on.
- you want only one app to see the new city: the switch is done at system level, so every app that reads your location sees it.
Four things to have ready
What should I have with me?
- The phone you share your location from, iPhone or Android.
- The city you want to show up in, out of the 41.
- A moment for the page to confirm your phone is ready.
- Location turned on in your settings, for the last check.
