Instagram is adding the ability to share your live location with friends in your DMs for up to one hour at a time so you can find each other when arriving at concerts, outings, and other gatherings. The feature works within Instagram’s direct messages, which also gets a few other new features, including sticker packs and nicknames.

Headlining the updates today (Nov 26) is the ability for users to share their live location via DMs. According to a Newsroom post, Instagram states you can share your location "privately" in one-on-one and group chat DM threads.

If you'd rather not share your live location constantly, you can also just drop a pin on the map to show people where you are.
