Instagram Is Killing Photo Maps (mashable.com)

Posted by msmash on Tuesday September 6, 2016 @07:20AM from the re-focusing dept.

Instagram is dropping the Photo Map feature from its service. The feature allowed one to see where a person took a photo. The company began removing the feature, it confirmed to Mashable. The social networking service added that it is currently focusing on removing maps on profiles of other people, but soon you (that is, if you use the service), will lose access to your own photo map as well. The company said: Photo Map was not widely used, so we've decided to remove the feature and focus on other priorities.

Frankly, telling people where photos are taken has some major risks.
Oh look, that guy posted a pic of his 16 year old daughter in their pool!
