Instagram Takes on Rivals with New Location-Sharing Feature

Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to share their locations with friends via direct messages (DMs). This move is seen as a challenge to services like Apple’s Find My and Snapchat’s Snap Map. The feature, which can be used to coordinate arrival times or find friends in crowded spaces, has a time limit of one hour.
  • Forecast for 6 months: Instagram’s location-sharing feature will gain popularity, with more users taking advantage of the feature to coordinate meetups and events. This may lead to increased competition for Apple’s Find My and Snapchat’s Snap Map.
  • Forecast for 1 year: Instagram will expand its location-sharing feature to more countries, and the time limit may be increased to two hours. This will further solidify Instagram’s position as a major player in the location-sharing market.
  • Forecast for 5 years: Instagram’s location-sharing feature will become a standard feature in the app, with users expecting it to be available by default. This may lead to a decline in the use of third-party location-sharing apps.
  • Forecast for 10 years: Instagram’s location-sharing feature will have evolved to include advanced features such as real-time location tracking and alerts. This will make it a go-to platform for people to share their locations with friends and family.
