Ten days ago WhatsApp got Disappearing Messages and now the opposite two apps with messaging abilities within the Facebook family are adopting it. Both Messenger and Instagram will get Vanish Mode which can delete messages upon closing the conversation window.
Vanish Mode is activated with a swipe from rock bottom of the chat. Once a message is shipped , it'll stay the screen until it's turned off or the app is switched. Of course, you'll always screenshot the message before it disappears.
The new feature will work both in group chats and private conversations. While they're instantly disappearing, Facebook revealed conversations are often reported, meaning they're going to remain within the system for up to 14 days, in order that they aren't instantly deleted.
Such features aren't entirely new within the Facebook universe - there still is “Secret Conversation” for Messenger but it's rather tedious to line up and use and no-one has the time for that. Instagram also has something of a disappearing feature - currently, photos are often sent and found out to disappear once seen but nothing on messages unless you Unsend them.
