“Vanish Mode”: Instagram chats don’t last forever. Text disappears automatically when you leave the conversation - the same applies to Messenger!
The two Facebook subsidiaries Messenger and Instagram now offer US users disappearing chats with “Vanish Mode”. Users can exchange messages with others as they wish, but all conversation history is deleted once they leave the chat. Above all, casual conversations should become more natural by not being stuck on the two platforms forever.
“Don’t talk constantly”
Disappearing messages like Snapchat are currently a priority for Facebook. Last week, the social media giant also launched a feature like this on WhatsApp. “Most of what we send doesn’t have to be there forever. “It is reassuring for users if their conversations are not permanent,” says Facebook.

Vanish Mode is a separate option that users can turn on and off within chats. However, the other participants in the conversation must also agree to its use. If everyone has given their consent, the conversation won't last forever. But the chat works as usual. In addition to text, users can also send emojis, images, GIFs and voice messages.
Users can report chats
It is possible to report a chat even in Vanish Mode if a user violates Messenger or Instagram guidelines. In this case, the conversation will exist for another hour for Facebook to review. Users can also block others. They will also receive a notification if someone takes a screenshot of the chat. Vanish Mode is currently only available in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Peru and Bangladesh, but Facebook plans to bring the feature to other countries soon.
