Instagram Map: What is it and how do I control it?

Instagram Map, rolling out from August 6, 2025, lets users share real-time location with Friends, Close Friends, selected friends, or no one, and includes a Hidden Places option to mask sensitive locations; the guide explains how to enable, change, and manage these settings. It cautions about privacy implications of sharing location and increased data collection by Meta, recommending limiting visibility or turning sharing off, while noting the map still shows location-tagged posts.
