Facebook has unveiled a new tool for Instagram messaging. His name isVanish Mode, which in Spanish could be literally translated as “disappearance mode.” And what is supposed to disappear?

1. The messages disappear once they are read:If everyone in the conversation has seen the message, it will disappear the moment you close the chat.
2. Swipe up to change mode:You can leave this mode active all the time, or just use it whenever you want.
3. This mode is shared: TheVanish Mode it is common for all chat users. If someone activates it, it is activated for everyone in the conversation and vice versa.
4. Conversations can be reported:If someone reports the conversation, the missing messages will be included in the report for up to 14 days after they have been viewed.
   • This means that Facebook would keep these messages for two weeks for any situation.
