Instagram gets reposts, and a few other new features to see what your friends are up to

Instagram is introducing features reminiscent of other social platforms, including reposts akin to Twitter’s retweet function, a location-sharing ‘Instagram Map’ similar to Snap Map, and a ‘Friends’ tab in Reels displaying friends’ activity. These updates, rolling out to US users initially, aim to enhance connectivity. Privacy controls are included, allowing users to manage location sharing and hide activity.
