What's Vanish Mode on Instagram?

Instagram's Vanish mode is like Incognito Mode on the web browser that does not keep history or chat backups after the conversation is over. The chats in Vanish Mode automatically get deleted after the Vanish Mode is turned off and they do not show up in regular chat.

What is the point of vanish mode?

Vanish Mode is a feature in the Messenger app that lets you send temporary messages to anyone you have an active chat with. These messages only last until the recipient reads them, after which they'll disappear. It's a great way to send quick messages without clogging up your regular chat.

Is Instagram vanish mode safe?

It won't be archived, so your secrets are safe somewhere within the internet bubble, never to surface again—unless someone takes a screenshot of them, of course. Unlike Snapchat, which deletes all messages unless they're explicitly saved by a person in the chat, Vanish Mode can be turned on or off.
