To turn off location sharing on Instagram, follow these steps:
- Open the Instagram app.
- Tap the three-line menu (≡) in the top right corner of your profile page.
- Select "Settings and activity."
- Go to "Story, Live, and Location."
- Tap "Location Sharing (Instagram Map)."
- Select "No one" to stop sharing your location.
- Tap "Done" or "Update" to save your preference.
Additionally, to fully disable location access for Instagram on your phone:
- On iPhone: Go to your iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Instagram, then select "Never."
- On Android: Go to your phone Settings > Apps > Instagram > Permissions > Location, and select "Deny" or "Never allow."
This ensures Instagram cannot access your location at all, even if location sharing within the app is turned on. Following these steps will turn off your location sharing on Instagram and prevent the app from accessing your location.
