Facebook Messenger introduces new ‘Vanish Mode’: Here’s how it works

Soon after Whatsapp launched the ‘Disappearing messages’ feature to the messenger app, Facebook is set to roll out the all-new ‘Vanish Mode’ which lets users send messages that disappear automatically after the chat window is closed.

In a statement released, the company said that “sometimes a message is just spontaneous — something one wants to say at the moment without worrying about it sticking around.” Like the regular chat, users can send memes, GIFs, stickers, or reactions even in the ‘Vanish Mode’, the only difference being that it wouldn’t stay in the chat history.

To make it more safe and private, the company added that it has also introduced a feature that will let users know if someone takes a screenshot in the ‘Vanish Mode’.
