How to show a false location of where you are? (Android)

Whether you want to just show someone being in a desired location, or just try the online products or services not available for your location, these tricks will help you do this amazing practice!

So starting up, you have to check the checkbox "Allow mock location" in Developer options section in Settings.

If Developer options is not shown in your settings you have to enable that by going to About phone> Device information then tap on the Build number 7 times. You'll get the developer options enabled.

So then you need the app called Mock Locations (Fake GPS path) installed on your device. Open that app and choose your location with that.

Now, to check it it works or not, open your maps app e.g. Google Maps then tap on the my location button on lower right corner. It will take you to the exact place you had set with the Mock Locations app.
You can also Check-In with your Facebook.

Remember not to close that app and allow it to run in the background while you do your stuff.

This won't work for your online products like apps available on Play Store for other countries which are not released for your country. There's another trick to do that.

You might say you can simply download the APK file of that app from a sideload apps site. But I'm going to show you how to download that from Play Store officially itself.

Prerequisite is a VPN app that you can easily get from the Store. There are many, but I would suggest you to use the Opera Free VPN - Unlimited VPN by OSL Networks as it's a trusted one.

Now after signing in, choose your country e.g. United States where your desired app is out. After it's done, clear the data of Play Store in Apps manager in Settings.

Now launch Play Store and you can see the effect. You can get the Spotify, YouTube Music and many more which are not available here.

That's it.

Now you can whisper to Alexa

Amazon’s Alexa can now listen and respond to whispers, and she will whisper back. Now first, this might set off another wave of anxiety for privacy advocates. Your virtual assistant is not only spying on you and potentially recording or storing your conversations, now she can do even if you tried to keep your voice down. Amazon’s team just made that sensitive microphone function even more acutely. Video demonstrating Alexa whisper: So, why do we need to whisper in the first place? Will it come handy in anyway? Yes. If you whisper, “Echo, play a lullaby,” for the infant who’s almost asleep in your arms, Echo will whisper back, “Here’s a station for lullabies from your Amazon Music library,” instead of screaming at  full startling volume. What's more? Whisper is not the only important feature that will come to Amazon Echo devices this year, we also have bunch of new ones. Guard : Guard will let you say, “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and the device will automatically acti...

Microsoft Edge Arrived for Android and iOS

Last week, Microsoft made a pretty surprising announcement. The company revealed that it would bring its Edge browser to iOS and Android, making it easier for existing Edge users (and possible converts) to take their browsing history, bookmarks, and other data with them. Now the beta app is available for download from the Play Store for some countries. But others can download the APK to give it a try. So how is the browser itself? Well, it feels like a mix of desktop Edge and mobile Chrome. The start page has your frequently-visited pages with a search bar, along with stories from MSN below that (which you can turn off). The UI is split into an address bar and Reading List/History/Bookmarks button at the top, and everything else at the bottom. Both bars pull away as you scroll down the page, and re-appear when you swipe up. Familiar Microsoft Edge features like the Hub allow users to organize the web in a way that cuts through the clutter, making it easier to find, view and manage thei...
