• Many TikToks claim that the UK Department of Transport is banning GPS apps in 2026
  • TikTok creators reported that those who continue using GPS apps would face a £200 fine and a six-point licence penalty
  • A spokesperson for the Department of Transport dispelled the rumors, but certain rules still need to be followed

Another week, another interesting TikTok trend – and this time, it’s not dances or pranks. Some creators have been spreading the rumor that the UK Department of Transport is planning to ban GPS smartphone apps, starting in 2026.

Once instated, the ban was said to make it completely impossible for motorists to use their phones for GPS navigation while driving. This included hands-off usage, with the phone mounted on the dashboard and controlled entirely by voice.
