    • Tap Allow / Yes

  3. Choose to share your Moment as Public (not just with followers)

Once posted:
โœ… Your pin (location) will appear on the Live Map
โœ… Others nearby can tap your pin to see your Moment


๐Ÿ“Œ Map Visibility Conditions

To appear on the map:

  • Your GPS/location must be ON

  • Your Moment must be Public

  • Your account should be verified (if required by app rules)

๐Ÿ”’ Private Moments or Moments shared only with followers wonโ€™t show on the map.


๐Ÿง  Why Show Up on the Map?

๐Ÿ“ฒ How to Manage Your Map Settings
