Instagram has rolled out a new feature called Instagram Map, enabling users to share their location with friends on a searchable map, mirroring Snapchat’s Snap Map.
The feature simplifies location sharing but may inadvertently expose users’ locations unless settings are adjusted.
The article provides guidance on how to use or disable this feature to control privacy.
The feature is opt-in and can be limited to close friends, with options to delete past locations.
This update is significant for UK users, given the popularity of Instagram, potentially affecting social media privacy practices and user engagement in the region as individuals manage their digital footprints.
With UK data protection laws like GDPR, users may be more cautious, influencing how social media companies design features for the market.
