How do I do that? Been using Graphene for many years but did not know this was possible.

There's a standard Mock Location feature in Android usable for it. We're making a better per-app Location Scopes feature as a replacement. Mock Location is global which has bad usability.

You can't; OP was making a list of GrapheneOS wants without realizing they were mostly just describing how GOS works. That bit was the only miss.

Thanks. So, a misunderstanding from the OP and not a feature specific to Graphene?
