To make sure Instagram location is off, you need to disable both Instagram's internal location sharing feature and your device's location access for Instagram. Here are the steps:
- Turn off location sharing within Instagram:
- Open the Instagram app.
- Go to your profile by tapping your profile icon.
- Tap the three-line menu icon (top right).
- Go to Settings, then find "Story, Live, and Location" or "Settings and activity."
- Tap "Location" and set sharing to "No one" or "Share with none."
- Also, check the Instagram Map feature in your DMs by tapping the map icon, then the gear icon, and ensure location sharing is set to "No one."
- Disable location permission on your phone:
- On iPhone: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Instagram, then select "Never" or turn off location access.
- On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Instagram > Permissions > Location, and disable location access.
By doing these two things, you ensure Instagram cannot access or share your location.
