If you use Instagram, you'll now get a feature similar to a popular WhatsApp feature on Instagram as well.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, has released the Share Location feature for Instagram users.
Instagram's Share Location feature is similar to WhatsApp's location-sharing feature.
Now, you can send your live location to family and friends on Instagram. The location will remain live for 1 hour.
You can share your live location with someone only by sending a private direct message. This location will not be forwarded to anyone else.
The live location feature on Instagram will be turned off by default. The location will be shared through private DMs and will be visible only to the sender and receiver in the chat.
An indicator will also appear at the top of the Instagram chat to show that live location sharing is active. You can turn it off at any time.
