🔒 Location Sharing Is Optional — Not Mandatory
You can:
Create an account and use all core features without enabling GPS
Post moments without tagging a place
Skip the “Check-In” step entirely when sharing a moment
🌟 Why Location Matters on Currently
Location sharing helps:
Power the Map feature so others can see where cool things are happening nearby
Place your moments in Discover feeds based on region
Let friends or followers know where you’re hanging out in real time
Give local businesses word-of-mouth credit for your visit
But if you're not comfortable sharing, you're in control — always.
