Ensuring Reliability of WP Live Location Sharing with Fake GPS Over Long Distance (70-100 km) ​

​Hello folks, I need some insights into mobile location verification mechanisms. ​I am using a Fake GPS application on a device to consistently report a fixed location (Location A). This location data is shared via WhatsApp (WP) Live Location to a recipient. ​Scenario and Test Conditions: ​The Fake GPS app settings have been verified and configured to prevent the app from being closed in the background. ​I am using my own mobile data and am not connecting to any Wi-Fi networks during the test. ​My initial test was successful at a very short distance (a 5-minute walk) from Location A, over a short duration.

​My Main Concern: ​If I travel 70-100 km away from Location A and remain stationary there for a long duration (8-9 hours): ​Does the mobile device's Operating System (OS) or WhatsApp's location service utilize the Cell ID (baz istasyonu) data as a hard cross-reference for the GPS coordinates? ​The Conflict: The OS receives fake GPS coordinates pointing to Location A, while the mobile network signal clearly originates from the cell towers 100 km away.

​My Question: ​At this significant distance and duration, what is the risk percentage that the conflict between the Cell Tower data and the Fake GPS data will cause WP Live Location to ignore the fake signal and suddenly "snap" to my true physical location 100 km away?
