Basically, Facebook launched a feature in 2020 that made messages disappear on Facebook and Instagram called Vanish Mode.<\/p>\n

Vanish Mode ensured messages disappeared after the recipient had seen them and left the chat.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/span>\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the time, Facebook said: \u201cSometimes a message is just spontaneous \u2013 something you want to say in the moment without worrying about it sticking around. That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to introduce Vanish Mode on Messenger, which lets you send messages that disappear automatically.\u201d<\/p>\n

This feature could be turned on by swiping up on a mobile device in an existing chat thread. It could be set back to the original mode by a user swiping up on their screen again.<\/p>\n

Bridget Pujals, Messenger Product Manager, and Manik Singh, Instagram Product Manager, said in a statement (via\u00a0USA Today<\/a>): \u201cWe designed Vanish Mode with safety and choice in mind, so you control your experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/span>\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vanish Mode first dropped in the US but later rolled out to countries in the EU.<\/p>\n

It now says on the\u00a0Facebook Help Center\u00a0that the feature is \u2018no longer supported\u2019, however, there are disappearing messages.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisappearing messages are gradually being introduced and may not be available to you yet,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/span>\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The feature can be accessed by clicking on the person\u2019s name you are talking to in Messenger and scrolling down to Privacy and Support, there you will find Disappearing Messages.<\/p>\n

The description warns: \u201cIf someone takes a screenshot or screen recording, a notification will appear in the chat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg has warned Facebook Messenger users about screenshotting chats in a post on the social media platform.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/span>\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00a0reads: \u201cNew update for end-to-end encrypted Messenger chats so you get a notification if someone screenshots a disappearing message.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also adding GIFs, stickers, and reactions to encrypted chats too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Facebook founder shared an exchange between him and his wife, Priscilla Chan. He made a cheesy joke about a supercomputer and his spouse took a screenshot, demonstrating how the notification will work.<\/p>\n
