Changing your location on eHarmony helps you match with people in new regions—ideal if you’ve moved, are planning travel, or seeking a fresh dating pool. eHarmony allows region updates via the app or site, and advanced users can combine GPS/location spoofing tools or VPNs for broader control and privacy.
Why You Might Want to Change Your Location
Many users ask, “Does location on eHarmony affect who I meet?” Yes—it defines who appears in your match suggestions. Adjusting your location helps you expand your match pool, plan ahead for a move, and avoid local biases or privacy concerns—without exposing your exact address.

Change Location Within the eHarmony App or Website
To adjust your region via official settings:
- Log into eHarmony (web or mobile) and select your profile or avatar.
- Choose Edit Profile, then tap the “i” icon next to your name and navigate to Match Settings → Distance & Geography.
- Click your current postal code, enter a new zip/postal code, confirm the city name, and proceed.
- Select your match radius (“In my country” or “Anywhere in the world”) and tap Save.
- Your updated location immediately applies—no need for approvals.
This straightforward method ensures your matches align with your desired region.
Use GPS Spoofing Tools to Simulate Location (Advanced)
If you want precise control over the GPS location (not just region):
- iOS & Android: Use tools like TunesKit Location Changer or MockGo. Install on your computer, connect your phone, select a fake city on the map, and apply GPS spoofing before launching eHarmony.
- Android only: You can also use a mock GPS app by enabling Developer Options, setting the fake location app, choosing your desired coordinates, then opening eHarmony.
These methods manipulate your device’s real GPS feed to eHarmony, which is far more accurate than simple region updates.
Change Location on eHarmony Using PureVPN (Desktop or Mobile)
Want to appear from another city or country without GPS spoofing? A VPN adjusts your IP location:
- Choose a reputable VPN (e.g., PureVPN).
- Launch the VPN and sign in with your credentials.
- Connect to a server in your target location.
- Open eHarmony, the platform will detect the VPN IP and adjust match suggestions accordingly.
Which Method Should You Use?
Method | Location Type | Ease | Risk/Profile Integrity |
---|---|---|---|
App/Website Settings | Postal Code | ✅ Very easy | ✅ Low – Official |
GPS Spoofing (App/Tool) | Exact Coordinates | ⚠️ Moderate | ⚠️ May affect GPS apps |
VPN for IP Change | IP-based Region | ⚠️ Moderate | ⚠️ Minimal risk |
- Most users should start with the built-in postal code update.
- Advanced users can combine spoofing tools or VPNs for full location control and privacy.
