Instagram new features photo Maps "Help" Users "peeping" other people's privacy

Instagram this week released a new version of its 3.0, where users can post all their photos on a map of the world (Photo Maps), creating a new way to view photos in the service. However, this new feature photo Maps, in the release less than a day time has been carefully users have been a big bug, what is the specific thing? Take a look: Although Instagram's photo maps is very powerful and the user experience is good, there are some privacy issues. User-owned photos are really private on the iphone, but on Android, we can peek at their private photos by looking at private users ' photo Maps, and the screenshot below is a screenshot of the private photos on the iphone and Android, It's clear that there are no cards on the iphone, but the Android tab is still there, and Android users can just click on the Photo Maps tab to see the private photos of others and inadvertently reveal their privacy. Is it easy for iphone users to relax? It's not--if you put your picture in the photo maps, even if it's tagged as a private photo, Android users can still peek at your private photos through the photo maps tab, but if your original private photos aren't on photo maps, They are still private and safe. However, Instagram has been using push notifications to remind users to upgrade and use photo maps this new feature, if users are upgraded and used, then their privacy is inadvertently leaked, because users do not know beforehand that this feature will bring the risk of privacy disclosure. When the user upgrades to 3.0, the first thing to see is a large information balloon to guide them to use photo Maps, and to help users to use this feature faster, Instagram also collects all your photos with location information and adds them to photo Maps by default. Because there is such a boot process, users are also quick to use, but the danger of privacy disclosure is also very fast. The Update:instagram team has found the bug and has sent an email to the user informing them that they will resolve the problem quickly. They have already released a partial update (not full version update) for Android Instagram-just remove the Photo maps tab (which is the same as the iphone version), so that Android users can't sneak into other people's private photos. Update 2:instagram a little bit about Android the night the user found the bugThe correction, that is, if the user continues to view other people's private photos through the Photo Maps tab-The server will return a load failure error prompt and ask the user to try again (as shown above), but if many of these tips will allow users to have a lot of resistance, Or expect an updated version of Android to be released soon!
