Meta revealed an update for the popular social media app that includes “reposting” content and a location map.

The reposting feature allows users to repost public feed posts and video reels that will appear on friends’ and followers’ feeds, as well as a separate reposting tab added to users’ profiles.

Through the map feature, users can share their last active location with the accounts they choose and have the option to “turn it off anytime.” The map can also be used to explore location-based content like restaurant spots showcased in an instagram reel.

In addition, users will notice a new “Friends” tab. It allows them to see “public content your friends have interacted with or recommendations.”

The new features come after instagram’s launch of new safety guard-rails for teen users with direct messaging. They also follow the release of new safety features on adult-run accounts featuring children.
