Instagram's new map feature, similar to Snapchat's Snap Map, is facing criticism due to privacy concerns. While the map requires users to opt-in to share their precise location, many are surprised to find their locations already populated on the map. This is because Instagram automatically adds locations from recent Stories or Reels where locations were tagged, even if users have their map location sharing settings set to "no one." The automatic population of locations, even with privacy settings enabled, is causing confusion and backlash from users.
