When you spoof your location, iFlowGo overrides your iPhone’s GPS signal. For short distances (under 15 km), this works seamlessly on its own — the GPS override is enough to fool Pokémon GO.
However, iOS doesn’t rely on GPS alone. It also uses Wi-Fi-based positioning: your iPhone periodically queries Apple’s location servers (like gs-loc.apple.com) by scanning nearby Wi-Fi networks and cross-referencing them against Apple’s global database. This gives iOS a second, independent estimate of where you actually are.
When you teleport over long distances — say, from Singapore to New York — the GPS coordinate iFlowGo injects and the Wi-Fi-derived position Apple returns are wildly different. iOS detects this conflict and Pokémon GO ends up receiving an unreliable or incorrect location.
This is where NextDNS comes in. By blocking the Apple location service domains at the DNS level, you prevent iOS from querying Apple’s Wi-Fi positioning database entirely. With that second data source cut off, iOS has no choice but to trust the GPS coordinate iFlowGo provides — no matter how far you teleport.
In short: NextDNS doesn’t change your location — it removes the system that would otherwise contradict it.
If you’re only spoofing short distances (under 15 km), iFlowGo will usually work right away without any extra setup. 
However, if you want to teleport longer distances (e.g., jumping across countries) or notice that your avatar randomly flies back to your real home location after a few minutes, you must configure NextDNS on your iPhone. This step blocks Apple’s background location correction servers, ensuring your spoofed location stays stable in Pokémon GO.
CRITICAL REQUIREMENT FOR STABILITY
IMPORTANT: For this setup to work and to prevent your location from rubberbanding back home, you MUST keep Cellular Data COMPLETELY TURNED OFF and rely entirely on a stable Wi-Fi connection throughout your entire session.

Start Pokémon GO
-
Ensure all setup steps are completed
-
Open Pokémon GO
-
Log into your account
-
-
Check Your Location

-
Try walking or moving around within the spoofed area
-
Troubleshooting Tips
- During the spoofing process, please keep Airplane Mode enabled and cellular data turned off on your iPhone.
1. NextDNS Not Working
-
Confirm DNS is enabled in network settings
-
Double-check the Configuration ID
-
Make sure Transport Layer Encryption is turned on
2. Location Still Not Working
-
Verify that Apple domains are added to the Denylist
-
Ensure network settings are correctly applied
-
Check that your virtual location tool is running
3. Game Not Updating Location
-
Both network and location settings must be stable
-
Log out and back into Pokémon GO
-
Check if the Wi-Fi settings are correct
