Facebook introduces 'vanish mode' for Messenger and Instagram


No more awkward, unanswered messages: 'Vanish Mode' promises to change how we message on Instagram and Facebook Messenger. — messengernews.fb.com/dpa

Facebook has announced it will introduce a "vanish mode" for its Messenger app and for Instagram, following the introduction of a similar feature on Whatsapp.

If the so-called vanish mode is activated, messages will be deleted automatically after a certain amount of time, once the receiver has seen them and the sender has left the chat.
