The user claimed that if you add your location via location tags, people will be able to find your exact location rather than your general location.
This prompted many people to go to Settings and turn off location permissions, leading the company to clarify the issue in a Twitter thread.
The company explained that the app's "Precise Location" feature is only for location beacons and map features.
People can share their location data with their followers if they want, but the information is not displayed publicly without consent.
Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, also clarified that location services are a device setting on smartphones and not a new feature of Instagram.
