To access the Instagram map, you will have to go to the DMS section of Instagram, and then tap the map icon in the upper row of the status icons. The first time you tap on the map, Instagram will find out how the Instagram map distributes your location, and why it needs to enable location services to work. Then, if you are not already sharing your location with Instagram, you will get a popup from your phone asking if you want to share your position. Taping through it will take you to the map.
The majority of the Map of Instagram is picked up by a map showing your current location, which is below the search bar to find your friends’ location. Scroll around for a bit and you can see a profile picture marked at a friend’s current location, or small posts tagged with a particular place. With Instagram map you can do some basic things:
Swipe here and see that friends’ posts were shown geographically
Use a search bar to find a friend’s current location or recent tagged posts
Tap a friend to carry on their profile, or to see a post completely.
Instagram map is mainly informative. It can tell you where your friends are or where they have been recently, and let you see the content on the basis where it was posted. After that it is not really complicated. Unless you are playing about who can see your location.
