How to add a location to an Instagram post using the Instagram website?
Unfortunately, as of September 2021, Instagram does not allow users to add a location to their posts directly through the Instagram website. However, you can still add a location indirectly by following these steps:
- Take a photo using your device or computer.
- Log in to your Instagram account on the website (www.instagram.com) using your username and password.
- Click on the "+" icon at the bottom center of the page to create a new post.

- After you finish writing your caption, click on the "Share" button at the bottom right corner of the page.
- Your post will now be published without a specific location tag. However, Instagram will automatically use the location information associated with your account or IP address to display a general location such as your city or country.
