Instagram now lets you 'repost' content, share your location
Instagram just launched a bunch of updates in the US to make connecting with friends easier.
The big one is a new "repost" button—so now you can quickly share posts or Reels, just like retweeting on Twitter.
There's also an "Instagram Map" feature that lets you share your last active location with select friends, kind of like Snapchat's Snap Map.
You can hide your activity or mute certain friends
A fresh "Friends" tab in Reels now highlights what your friends are liking, commenting on, or reposting, making it easier to see what everyone's into.
Instagram says privacy is still a priority: the location feature only shows your last active spot (not live tracking), and you get full control over who sees it—or if anyone does at all.
You can also hide your activity or mute certain friends for a more personalized experience.
