Apple is fixing this in iOS 14. It allows you to give an app access to only approximate location.

Note that if your location history (precise every five minute location stored to your account) is off, Google won't even suggest a locally-stored list of previous locations you used with Maps. Which is an absolutist position that is usability-wise incredibly frustrating.

I would rather have the ability give a custom location instead.

That'd certainly be a nice feature. I'd be happy to tell my phone the address of a well-known public building in my area and have all location-based queries orient from that.

1. Download a GPS spoofing app

2. Enable Developer options

3. Select mock location app

4. Spoof your location

Get banned on all location based AR games, of course.

Is this even still possible on current iOS/Android devices?

[strombofulous]

Somehow those apps never seem to work for me.

XPrivacyLua for Android supports this. (Requires root and Xposed framework, though.)
