Instagram may soon get disappearing messages feature

Just this week, WhatsApp was seen testing messages that would disappear. Now another Facebook-owned app, Instagram has been seen testing the same. However, the way it would appear on the photo-sharing app is different from what we saw on the instant messaging app as on Instagram, it appears to look like how it works on Snapchat.
The feature was spotted by reverse engineering specialist Jane Manchun Wong who even posted a small GIF on Twitter to show how the feature may work. Instagram even replied to her tweet confirming that the feature was indeed under development. “We’re always exploring new features to improve your messaging experience. This feature is still in early development and not testing externally just yet!”
There is no timeline as to when this feature will be rolled out to users.
Instagram has always ‘borrowed’ features from Snapchat over the years and this may be one of the last remaining few.
