The Currently Map is your real-time window into the world around you 🌍
See exactly who is doing what, nearby — and connect instantly.


📍 How to Open the Map

  1. Open the Currently app

  2. Tap the Map icon 🗺️ (usually at the bottom or top of the screen)

  3. You’ll see a live map with pins representing people nearby


🔥 What Do the Pins Mean?

Each pin = someone who just posted a Public Moment with location turned on.

  • Tap a pin to see:

    • Their photo/video/text Moment

    • Their profile info

    • When they posted it (e.g. “3 mins ago”)

You’ll know exactly what’s happening around you right now.


👥 What Can I Do with a Pin?

  • Tap the Moment to view it fully

  • Swipe up to like, comment, or follow the person

  • Explore pins around your location or anywhere else

🔍 Zoom in/out or drag the map to explore new areas.


⚠️ Why Can’t I See Someone on the Map?

A person’s Moment won’t show on the map if:

  • It was posted without location

  • It was set to “Followers Only”

  • They have disabled Map sharing in their privacy settings


🧠 Why Use the Map?

  • Discover nearby events, moods, or hangouts

  • Find people with similar vibes

  • Explore what’s trending — naturally, in real-time

🌟 No filters, no fakes — just real people doing real things.


Want this turned into an animated tour or swipe tutorial for first-time users of the map feature? I can prepare that too!
