The Insta Geotag feature isn’t just for engaging with your local followers. It’s also for letting others in a certain location about a certain place you’re in, or disseminate more knowledge about that place.
It’s a must-have feature for travel brands and bloggers alike on the platform.
Basically, it’s the specific location, entailing both longitude and latitude. That’s where you store your IG content. You gather geolocations from your mobile device’s physical location, allowing your followers to tag or store their content, and coordinate with others.
