How to Bypass Location Restrictions to Use Any Snapchat Geofilter You Want on Android

In 2014, Snapchat introduced a special type of Filter called Geofilters. Geofilters only appear when you're in a specific location. For example, a Disney Land Geofilter will only appear if you're actually there. Rather, your phone needs to think that you're at Disney Land. By spoofing your GPS location, you can effectively travel all across the globe — at least in the eyes of Snapchat.

By using Fake GPS GO Location Spoofer Free, you'll be able to trick Snapchat into thinking that you're somewhere where you aren't. By doing so, you'll be able to access Geofilters from across the world, all from the comfort of your own home. Long gone are the days of needing to travel somewhere to prove you went there.
