To hide your location on Instagram in 2025, you can do the following:
- Open Instagram and go to your Direct Messages (DMs) by tapping the arrow icon or message icon.
- In your inbox, tap on the Map feature located at the top.
- Tap the gear icon (settings) at the top right corner of the Map screen.
- In the location sharing settings, choose "No One" to stop sharing your location with others.
- Additionally, go to your phone settings (iPhone or Android), find Instagram under app permissions, and disable location access to prevent Instagram from accessing your location.
- You can also manage location sharing for stories and live videos through Instagram settings by selecting "Hide Story and Live" and setting location sharing to "No One."
This method ensures your location is not shared on Instagram's map feature or in your stories, and Instagram cannot access your device location if permissions are disabled. These steps allow full control over your privacy on Instagram regarding your location.
