The Map on Currently lets users discover real-time moments happening around them. When you check in to a place while posting a moment, your moment may appear as a pin on the Map, helping others see where life is happening right now.
📍 When Does Your Moment Appear on the Map?
Your moment will show on the Map only if:
You have enabled location permissions
You tag a place (Check-In) while posting your moment
Your privacy setting for that moment is set to Public
If you skip the check-in or choose “Followers Only,” your moment will not appear on the Map.
👀 What is Shown on the Map?
When your moment is visible on the Map, users can see:
A pin marking the place you checked in to (e.g., “Blue Tokai Café”)
Your profile photo, activity, and caption preview
A tap-to-view moment that shows your full post
Exact GPS coordinates or your real-time movement are never shown.
🧭 How Close is the Location Shown?
The pin represents a publicly known location (like a business or landmark), not your private address
If you're at home or a private spot and still choose to check in, it's up to you to select a nearby public point of interest
Your exact location is never exposed — Currently only shows what you choose to share.
