Users can now post text and video updates based on their location with Instagram thanks to a new tool that looks a lot like Snapchat’s Snap Maps
With this feature, Instagram emphasises safety and user controversy by focussing stricter private options than Snapchat, which allows more public sharing
Instagram's next feature, "Friend Map," a restricted number of pals can watch text and video updates uploaded on a map, according to sources and leaked photographs
This method is similar to Snapchat’s Snap Maps, a fundamental component of the program that was introduced in 2017
The main difference between Snap Map and Instagram's mapping is privacy. Instagram continues to prioritise user data and safety with this new feature
With a map function, Instagram may have several effects. First, it can increase user engagement by giving friends a new communication and interaction platform
The map function, which is still in testing, might change how Instagram users use the app. As this feature changes, it will be interesting to watch how Instagram balances innovation
