INSTAGRAM TAKES ON SNAPCHAT WITH NEW ‘INSTAGRAM MAP'

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Instagram's new map feature lets users share their most recent active location with others and discover location-based content. The feature also allows users to leave short messages on the map for others to see. Location sharing is off by default in Instagram Map, and users' locations only show up when they open the app, so it doesn't provide real-time location updates. The new feature has launched in the US and will be available globally soon.
