This week, Instagram introduces features like Snap Map called Instagram map That allows users to share the most recent active location with others and find the content based on location.
If you want to enable your location on your Instagram map, your location is only updating when you open the application or have updated in the background, it means not updated, real-time-time time. This is different from the Snap map, which allows users to choose whether the location is only updated when opening an app or in real time.
Meta said showing off locations by default on Instagram maps. Following concerns Around safety, Adam Mosseri Head Users again that the feature is selected, and note that someone is “confused” about the features of work.
For example, they access the features and see the map that populates with multiple location information. This is because the feature automatically pull in the location tag of the story or reels sent that you are delivered.
It is found that this is not new, as Instagram is given the location of the tag appears to the user on the map view. However, the new Instagram map feature makes this information easier access. The new feature may make you remind you what you want to send the story and reels with location labels (especially if you are still at location).
For those who want to ensure that the location is turned off on this map, we will walk you through the steps below.
How to access Instagram maps
To access new features, you will need to navigate to the DMS page (direct message) and tap the “Map” map at the top. If you first access these features, you will see the pop-up message to create your new map.
Pop-up will inform you that no one can see where you can share with you, and you can change your settings anytime.
How to adjust the options showing location
The first time open map, you will see the reading page “Who can see your location.” From there, you can choose with your friends (followers you follow again), “List closely friends, select Users, or none.
To change your choice, you must click on your profile, tap Settings option in the right corner, select the “story, Live and location” option, then tap the location “button. Here, you’ll be able to change your settings.
Remember that you have a location store off, the rest can be sharing your location with you, that means you will see it on the map.
How to use Instagram map
When you open the app, you will see your friends location that shows your location with you. You will also see the story based on the location and reels from the person you follow.
For example, if your friend attending a close music festival and sent a story when there, it will appear on the map. In addition, if the creator you follow posts about new restaurants in your city, you will find it on Instagram maps.
You will still see the content based on the location on the map even if you have a location off.
You can also leave an ephemeral message, or “Note,” on the map for someone else to see. Instagram Note is a short message that currently appears at the top of the messaging feed immediately, but with the Instagram location, you will now see the posts on the map if it is displayed with the location.
