JAKARTA Not long ago Meta launched an interactive map feature on Instagram, similar to the Snap Map feature on Snapchat. However, this feature has been heavily criticized for security concerns.
For security purposes, Meta had confirmed that the user's location would not be shared automatically. Locations can only be shared if the user gives approval.
However, some users found the opposite. Not a few users say that their location is automatically displayed in the map feature, even without approval.

With this problem, some people are certainly worried about the security of their personal data. Therefore, Meta also provides a button to disable the location sharing feature on Instagram.
If you feel disturbed by this feature and want to turn off its function, you can easily disable Instagram Maps on iOS and Android. Here's how to disable it.
After performing the above stages, the Maps feature on your Instagram should have been deactivated. If you are interested in reusing it, you can return all settings to their original position.
