Can anyone explain this?

This is a bit of a strange one.... My boyfriend and I have been going through a bit of a rough patch recently. We left it a few days ago as having a bit of space to think things through, I text him this morning to ask if not being in touch means he’s decided he doesn’t want things to continue. He replied saying he’d already told me as he was talking to me through a messaging app - I don’t have this app.

Apparently someone has set up a profile (not with my photo) but the location shows as my area so he’s thought it was me checking up on him. It absolutely wasn’t me but I can’t explain to him that because he already thinks it’s me.

Can someone change a location without actually being in that place? Or is just a coincidence and he’s jumped on it as a way out?

If its snapchat it is possible someone just has the same name as you, the location can be explained because he may have typed in your name & snapchat will bring up people in his area first, he may have just added thinking it was you

Depends on the app.
Tinder goes by actual location, POF let's you say where you are based, Snapchat is actual location if this is turned on

Very few messaging apps rely on location to find people, dating apps do. So are we talking about a dating app?
