Snapchat’s Snap Map is rubbing off on Instagram, as the Meta-owned photo- and video-sharing platform unveiled an updated map experience Tuesday with much of the same functionality available on its counterpart.

Instagram’s new map experience allows users to discover new places by tapping location tag in feed posts or Stories; by searching for a city, neighborhood or place in Explore; and via local hashtags.
