Send disappearing messages on Instagram with vanish mode; here’s how to enable it
Disappearing messages sent through Instagram’s vanish mode can’t be copied, saved or forwarded.

An exciting feature of Instagram called vanish mode allows its users to send disappearing messages. With the use of this mode, people can make their sent text disappear from the chat window right after the recipient leaves the chat or disables the function. Though it is quite an amazing feature to use, it is recommended to utilise Instagram’s vanish mode while messaging known individuals or friends as the recipient is allowed to take a screenshot of the text message before it disappears.![Send disappearing messages on Instagram with vanish mode; here’s how to enable it]()
