1. A method comprising:
causing display of a map-based graphical user interface (GUI) for a social media platform on a user device associated with a particular user, the map-based GUI including enabling user navigation to display a target geographical area; and
responsive to user input, selectively switching the map-based GUI between:
a live mode in which the map-based GUI provides location-based access to social media content comprising ephemeral items uploaded by users to the social media platform for public availability, each ephemeral item originating from the target geographical area and having a respective predefined limited period of time between uploading and expiry of the respective ephemeral item, expired ephemeral items being inaccessible for viewing in the live mode of the map-based GUI; and
a historical mode in which the map-based GUI provides location-based access exclusively to geotagged historical social media content previously uploaded by the particular user, the geotagged historical media content including expired ephemeral items uploaded by the particular user.
