Vanish mode is a feature available on Instagram and Facebook Messenger that allows users to send messages, photos, videos, and other content that disappears from the chat history after a certain period of time or when the user leaves the chat or turns off vanish mode. The feature is designed to offer users more privacy and security, as it allows them to erase the details of a private chat after the conversation is over.
When vanish mode is enabled, users can send messages, photos, videos, and other content, and then, when one user leaves the chat or when vanish mode is turned off, all of this content will disappear from the chat history. The feature is opt-in, meaning that users choose whether to enter vanish mode with someone. Only people you’re connected to can use vanish mode with you in a chat. If someone takes a screenshot of your chat while you’re using vanish mode, you’ll be notified.
To use vanish mode on Instagram, users need to swipe up in their DMs. Vanish mode is disabled in Instagram’s default setting and users have to switch it on manually to use it. The feature is only available for users who you follow on Instagram or have already connected with in the past. Vanish mode only works for one-on-one chats, and users won’t be able to activate it in a chat with more than two people.
