Adding the location on Instagram posts makes your followers know where you are. You don’t even need to mention the location, especially in the captions. Many of your friends may even ring you up to meet for coffee. It can be that you are coincidentally in the same city.
Putting the location to any of your Instagram posts is simple. The best part is that place can be added to the post quickly without letting wait for it.
