Do you remember the uproar Instagram caused when it copied from competitor Snap years ago?chatin Stories, which were one of the most interesting and most used things on it at the time? Then know that this scandal will probably happen again soon. The developers managed to find information about a new feature in the early betas of Instagram, which seemed to have overlooked another Snap feature.chatu. This is specifically a map that shows the user's location and is therefore somewhat similar to Find. The catch, however, is that this is the map that Snap haschat for a very long time and its deployment on Instagram cannot be perceived as anything other than copying it - especially since it is again a very popular element of Snapchatu.
At least according to the available information, the map should work simply in such a way that if the user allows sharing their location with contacts (there will probably be an option to specify which contacts can see your location and which cannot), they will then be able to follow their location on the map in real time. The location will then be updated depending on how the user is using Instagram, and it will be renewed every time it is opened. If it is then open all the time, the location should be constantly updated while it is open. This is therefore a relatively interesting, but on the other hand also easily abused element, which will most likely meet with harsh criticism not only from Snap fanschatbut also people who will perceive this news as a threat.
