Tweet from Instagram CEO Adam Moseri

Wanted to share this ???? for clarity. Location Services is a device setting on your phone, not a new feature from Instagram, and it powers things like location tags. We don’t share your location with other people. https://t.co/6R6XMOCppj — Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) August 25, 2022

Instagram also used its official account to say that the photo-sharing app uses exact location for location gtags and maps features. Also, users can hide their location with the help of their device if they want.
