Instagram adds a new friends map feature that sure looks a lot like the Snap Map

Instagram has introduced a new location-sharing feature that resembles Snapchat's Snap Map. The feature allows users to share their last active location with selected contacts, with customizable controls to restrict sharing in certain locations or with specific people. This update also includes a long-awaited reposting tool, which enables users to repost public Reels and feed posts, with automatic credit to the original poster and the option to add personalized notes. Additionally, Instagram is rolling out a new Friends tab in Reels, which displays public content that a user's friends have interacted with. These updates are now available to most users and are part of Instagram's ongoing efforts to introduce features similar to those found on rival platforms, particularly Snapchat.
