Meta's new Instagram Maps has users flipping out, fearing their every move is suddenly public ā but spoiler alert: 'It doesn't share your location by default.' The CEO even had to chase down complainers to say theyāre wrong. Despite all that, itās easy to see why folks are suspicious, given how 'many think Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is untrustworthy or worse.' Meanwhile, most users donāt know how their phones work and assume the worst. And hey, the map is so well-hidden, even the people Instagram follows arenāt using it much.
