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

Instagram just announced an update with some long-requested features. The most notable is the introduction of a location-sharing tool for friends, though the long-awaited reposting tool is nothing ot sneeze at, either. Once opted into, the map shares a user’s last active location with chosen contacts. The location sharing feature is turned off until selected and there are numerous customization controls.

For instance, Instagram users can choose to share location data with all friends, Close Friends, selected accounts or nobody at all. This data can be restricted when at certain locations or when with specific people.
