<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Friend Map: Overview</h3>



<p>Recently, <a href="https://www.threads.net/@alex193a?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">a Thread was shared</a> that revealed Meta is working on a new feature for Instagram. The feature has much to do with your friends&#8217; location on Instagram. You guessed it! It is like the Snapchat&#8217;s Snap Map. With Instagram&#8217;s Friend Map, you will be able to see the locations of your friends, as it is supposed to be. Their posts will also be displayed there. On top of that, the feature lets users leave notes on the map.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Instagram&#8217;s Ghost Mode</h3>



<p>Well, sometimes, people prefer privacy. Therefore, you can choose particular friends to see your location via Friend Map only. You can also opt for Ghost Mode, where you can “hide your last active location.” Location via Instagram is end-to-end encrypted and shared only when a user accesses Instagram.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Release Date</h3>



<p>According to leaks, the feature seems very stable. Meta may initially incorporate this feature to the beta users for final tests and eventually, will roll out to the public in a month.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wrapping up</h3>



<p>The new Instagram feature, Friend Map, is pretty much a Snapchat feature. However, after reels, this feature will allow Instagram to hold more users to the platform and may take many users off of Snapchat. Such competition will allow both platforms to offer better user experience over time.<br><br>Comment below what your thoughts are.
