– You will not be able to copy, save or forward disappearing messages.

– Accounts you haven’t connected with before can’t send you message requests in vanish mode.

– You can only use vanish mode in a chat with another Instagram account. The feature can not be used in a group chat or in a chat with a Messenger or Facebook account.

It is advisable to use vanish mode with people you trust. For example, it’s possible for someone to take a screenshot or screen recording of a message in vanish mode before it disappears. Though Instagram will notify you in case the user takes a screenshot of a message sent in vanish mode. However, the recipient can also take a photo of a disappearing message with a camera or other device before it disappears.
