Facebook is the primary operating company for social media like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. Recently, in both the Instagram Application and Messenger, Facebook has introduced a new, faster feature called Vanish mode. When we turn on Vanish mode on Instagram, the messages will disappear very quickly.
For example, if we message someone in Vanish mode after closing the chat window, we can see that the messages will disappear immediately. This mode explicitly helps conceal or disappear messages that you want to keep hidden or may think of as an unwanted message. When we compare the WhatsApp and Instagram message disappearing mode, we can find small variations.
But in the case of the WhatsApp disappearing system, the messages will be removed after seven days only. On Instagram, we can switch on Vanish Mode with a single swipe from bottom to top. When we turn on Vanish mode, we can see a black screen come up in the current chat window. Then comes the question of how can we turn on Vanish mode?
