How to Add Location to Instagram? – Famoid
Since Instagram is a smart phone platform that you can use to post pictures of videos you want other people to see, you will want to add locations to your posts. The reason for this is that the more locations you add to your account the wider the audience you will reach. The wider the audience, the more potential followers you will get. If you have a business that you want to promote, this is critical. Sounds simple, right? Thinking of Instagram as a mini-Facebook is a good perspective to have because Instagram works with Facebook.
