Learn how to disable and exit Vanish Mode on the Instagram app

Introduction

Instagram's Vanish Mode is a temporary feature that allows you to send messages that disappear once it's turned off or you leave the chat. This feature works in all private chats and direct messages. While you can't turn off Vanish Mode permanently, you can easily exit it if it's active. Here's how to turn off Vanish Mode on Instagram using your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Steps to Turn Off Vanish Mode on Instagram

Step 1: Open the Instagram App

1. Open the Instagram app on your device. It looks like a camera with a multicolored background. Log into your account if you aren't already.
2. Note that Vanish Mode is only available on Instagram's mobile app for iOS and Android.

Step 2: Open a Chat

1. Tap the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen to open your direct messages.
2. Select a direct message from another user to open the chat.
3. If another user starts Vanish Mode with you, you'll receive a notification. Tap the notification to quickly enter the chat.

Step 3: Swipe Up on the Chat and Release

1. Once you are in the chat, swipe up from the bottom of the screen until you see the message "Release to turn off vanish mode."
2. Let go of the screen. The chat will return to normal, and messages sent and received will be visible when you leave the chat screen.

By following these simple steps, you can easily exit Vanish Mode on Instagram and return your chat to normal.
