According to a new meta announcement, Instagram will integrate interesting news regarding the location that you can share with other users. It will be similar to WhatsApp, real-time location but can only be done through direct and group chats for privacy. The intention is to provide a tool to organize meetings directly from your conversations on the social network. “A way to spend more time together and less time coordinating.”
Now you can share your live location like on WhatsApp but on Instagram
Meta has noted that the feature will be disabled by default, so the user must give their consent when activating it and can only be shared for one hour. Surely it can be shared for less time like on WhatsApp, although the app will remind you that you are sharing the live location at the top of the chat.
An interesting security feature that will be integrated is that This location cannot be forwarded to other chats. You can also establish a place on the map to be able to coordinate for a meeting. When you want to stop sharing your location, you can do so without any problem. Meta indicates that this feature is available in selected countries without revealing which ones exactly.
Live locations in Instagram chats
The new function is excellent but it lacks something additional
Just as in WhatsApp, it is possible to share the location for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours. Apple’s Find My app allows you to keep a person’s location forever, something that both Meta apps can also incorporate.
If the feature to be implemented on Instagram turns out to be a success, We do not doubt that they will seek to have more time to share the location. The only thing that is known about news is a function similar to Snapchat where it is possible to consult a map of locations about friends in which Meta confirmed to TechCrunch.
To find out if Spain or the country where you read us from will be compatible with the new Instagram location features it is necessary to have the latest versions installed through App Store updates.
Instagram has also updated with new stickers available in direct messagesmore than 300 through 17 new packages. Now it will be possible to mark a sticker as a favorite to be able to reuse it, just as happens in WhatsApp. It is also possible to rename individual or group chats with direct nicknames. These do not change Instagram usernames at any time.
Control of who changes nicknames is subject to the members of the chatwhich can be all or just one person. This function is useful to be able to rename the chats of users who have a very long name or so that you can identify them more quickly within a large group of chats.
