[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 859002, member: 55987"] OK, my error here. I thought spoofing the location was about my IP address. I just checked my HW Mate 20X (Android 10) and Samsung Fold (Android 9) and both have the 'Select mock location app' feature. See below screen shot taken off my HW Mate 20X phone running Android 10 I'm using Android 10 for my Huawei which explains its incompatibility or could it be due to its EMUI like Xiaomi's MIUI which both the developers claimed no compatibility with the latter. My Samsung Fold is still at Android 9. You still can use VMOS but many apps using VPN look like not compatible and some non-VPN apps as well. Other than that it offers a layer of protection just like a VM on your PC/Laptop. It prevents your device from being fingerprinted since it's running on Linux. Alternatively, if you want something better than Island/Shelter is to use Secure Folder by Samsung or Private Space by Huawei. They are sandboxes just like Island/Shelter with its ability to store documents, photos, videos etc with access protection Device ID can be changed using app like Device ID Changer. As for MAC Address Android 10 supports MAC Address randomization but not all devices upgraded to Android 10 supports it like my Huawei Mate 20X. There's no MAC Address randomization feature in it after I upgraded to Android 10. I saw it in Huawei newer devices with built-in Android 10 though.
