Overview
- The Map feature is rolling out to users in India on iOS and Android, with live location sharing strictly opt in and switchable off at any time.
- A persistent label now appears at the top of the Map to show whether location sharing is on or if device location is disabled.
- An indicator under the profile photo in the Notes tray clarifies when a user is not sharing their location.
- Profile pictures have been removed from location-tagged Map content to avoid implying a person’s live location.
- Instagram added an educational reminder and a preview so users can see how location-tagged Stories, Reels, and posts will appear on the Map before publishing.
