Instagram Map
Instagram has A Brand New Feature Which i am Going To Tell you About
You Will Notice in the Latest Instagram Update that your Profile Will Look Different
we’ve introduced a new and unique way to browse your photos and others’ photos on a map, which means you’re no longer constrained to browsing through page after page of photos. We’ve also worked hard on updating all the screens in our app to be more visually consistent and polished. You’ll notice new layouts throughout the app that feel fresh, yet familiar. Our engineers have also been hard at work making sure that the browsing experience is as fast as possible. On newer devices, you should notice a marked improvement in speed while browsing. With that, we’ve introduced infinite scrolling in feeds so that you can quickly see more photos while browsing around the app. And finally, we’ve paid special attention to keeping Instagram a safe place. With improved reporting tools, users can now flag both photos and comments for review with ease. We’re very excited by how much has gone into this release
Photo Maps a new way to browse photos on Instagram. Your Photo Map appears on your profile and lets you showcase your photos on a map. Also, you’ll be able to see other users’ maps from their profiles as well.
Important: Before your map is visible to the public, you’ll be prompted to review any photos you previously geotagged. Additionally, we’ve made it easy to remove photos from your map at any time, which will remove any associated geo-data but leave the photos intact on your profile.
Review your Photo Map
When you navigate to your Photo Map for the first time, you’ll be prompted to review photos you have previously uploaded with geolocation turned on. If you've never added geolocation to a photo, your Photo Map will appear light gray and you will not be able to navigate through to the map.
During the review process you’ll see photos you’ve geotagged in the past grouped together by location. From here you can deselect photos that you may not want appearing on your Photo Map, or you can deselect all images in a location group. Once you’ve chosen which images you want to add to your Photo Map, simply tap Done to create your map!
It is important to note that when you deselect a photo during this review process the photo’s location data will be removed from Instagram permanently. The only way to get this data back if you have accidentally removed geolocation from a photo is to re-upload the image.
Add to your Photo Map
Go through the photo sharing process until you reach the final screen, just before you upload your photo.
To add the photo to your map, simply make sure “Add to your Photo Map” is turned on.
New look for user profiles, the Explore tab, hashtag & location pages
General location sharing
If the "Add to Photo Map" switch has been turned on, it will attach an approximate latitude and longitude with your photo.
Specific location sharing
If you'd like to tie your photo to an even more specific place (a landmark, cafe, store, park, etc.), tap the phrase "Name this location" that now appears below the "Add to Photo Map" option. You'll be taken to a new page listing all of the nearby spaces in our system. Find the one that suits you and tap to select it.
Once you make a selection from the “Nearby” list, you will return to the final posting screen, and the location you selected will replace the “Name this location” text. When you tag your photo with a specific location, people viewing your photo will be able to see exactly where you took it.
Custom location sharing
Don't see your specific location listed? You can create a custom name for the location and tie it to the general latitude and longitude associated with your photo. On the “Nearby” page, type the desired name into the bar that says “Search or add a location.” You will then be able to assign a custom name for that location.
Note: Adding a custom location does not mean you are adding it to the list of specific, public locations available for other users to check in at. Custom locations are not available for other users to use, they are your own. If you would like to make a new location tag available to the public,
Location on the web
For photos viewed from a computer that have been added to your Photo Map, your selected location will appear alongside your photo. If you do not want to include this map, do not utilize "Name this location" when you upload a photo.
View Photo Maps
With Photo Map, you can showcase your geotagged photos, or explore geotagged photos of any other user on a Map - it’s a beautiful new way for you to view your Instagram photos!
View your Photo Map
To view your own Photo Map, just navigate to your profile, then tap Photo Map. From there you will be able to explore your location-tagged photos. You can zoom in and out on your map, view your photos in a grid, or view stacks of photos taken at the same location. You can also double tap a stack of photos that appear near each other to view the photographs in a grid.
View another user's Photo Map
If a public user or a private user you follow has approved photos to appear on their map, you can explore their Photo Map on Instagram! Just navigate to a user’s profile, tap Photo Map (an inactive Photo Map will appear light gray) and embark on a journey to all of the places they’ve ever been.
Edit your Photo Map
You can remove photos from your map by tapping the edit button in the upper right hand corner of your Photo Map. From there you can deselect images to permanently remove their location. The photo will not be deleted from your Instagram profile, but the photo’s location data will be removed from Instagram permanently.
The only way to get this data back if you have accidentally removed geolocation from a photo is to re-upload the image.
