It's phone geo data.

Not sure if Instagram makes the exif data available

No, exif data is wiped from photos by any of the large social media companies and public photo hosts and has been like that for years.

Edited to add comma.

Instagram strips it but people themselves add the location on their own, that you can maybe access through api or at least minimum by scraping.

Last I heard, Instagram strips EXIF data on upload.
